地道表达
feel like a million dollars
1. 解词释义
Feel like a million dollars为美国口语非正式用法。它的意思并不是“看起来很有钱”,而是“感到精神非常好”。美国人很崇尚金钱,所以往往用a million dollars表示“极好”的意思,强调“好”的程度。因此,I feel like a million dollars.就生动地描述了说话人精力充沛的身体状况。这里的dollars可以省略,可以直接说:I feel like a million. 其英文解释为:be in excellent health and spirits 1。
2. 典型范例
e.g. He feels like a million after he got the promotion 2.
他得到晋升后神采飞扬。
e.g. My cold has gone and now I feel like a million dollars.
我感冒好了,我现在感觉精神很好。
e.g. I'm on holiday, it's a beautiful morning, and I feel like a million dollars.
我在度假,这是一个美丽的早晨,我感到非常愉快。
e.g. He had a headache yesterday but feels like a million dollars today.
他昨天还头痛,但今天却感到精神很好。
