花两元钱买了张彩票,结果就中了头奖,这个时候你会是什么反应呢?是不
是开心得要晕过去了?感叹自己人品太好竟能如此走运?今天咱们就来介绍两个
老外常用来形容自己高兴和幸运的短语。
1. feel like a million dollars = feel wonderful 感觉好极了
现在体育彩票、福利彩票、六合彩、各种各样的乐透活动满天飞,假如有一
天你得了百万大奖,岂不是要乐翻天?你知道吗,外国人在特别高兴的时候就喜
欢说I feel like a million dollars (我感觉像中了百万美元大奖似的),这
高兴劲儿估计是一般人所体会不到的。
例如:
A : I bumped into Nick at the barbershop yesterday. He looked great,
but I noticed that he had a slight limp when he walked. 我昨天在理发店
遇到尼克,他看上去气色不错,不过他走路的时候有点瘸。
B : I guess you didn't know that he had an operation on his knee.
你大概不知道吧,他膝盖做手术了。
A : No , I didn't. How's he feeling ?
我不知道。他感觉怎么样?
B : He says he's feeling like a million dollars now. Apparently the
pain in his knee is all gone. 他说他感觉好极了。看来他膝盖疼的毛病都给
除掉了。
2. sitting pretty = in a fortunate position 处于幸运的境地
Pretty有“美丽、机灵”的意思,sitting pretty作为一个习惯用语,它的
意思并不是具体地说一个人坐在那里很漂亮,而是指一个人处于优势的地位,各
个方面的条件都对他有利。
例如:
A : I heard that Michael and Jennifer got a good price when they
sold their house. 我听说迈克和詹妮弗的房子卖了个好价钱。
B : Yes, they did. Now they're really sitting pretty. As a matter
of fact , they're thinking of going on a long vacation.是啊。他们运气
真的很好。事实上,他们正打算休个长假呢。
