花兩元錢買了張彩票,結(jié)果就中了頭獎(jiǎng),這個(gè)時(shí)候你會(huì)是什么反應(yīng)呢?是不是開心得要暈過去了?你知道嗎,外國(guó)人在特別高興的時(shí)候就喜歡說I feel like a million dollars(我感覺像中了百萬(wàn)美元大獎(jiǎng)似的),這高興勁兒一般人估計(jì)是體會(huì)不到了。咱們今天就說說老外常用來形容自己高興和幸運(yùn)的短語(yǔ)。
1. feel like a million dollars = feel wonderful
現(xiàn)在體育彩票、福利彩票、六合彩、各種各樣的樂透活動(dòng)滿天飛。如果有一天,你得了百萬(wàn)大獎(jiǎng),你會(huì)不會(huì)開心呢?那么feel like a million dollars 就是感覺好極了。
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.
我昨天在理發(fā)店遇到尼克,他看上去氣色不錯(cuò),不過他走路的時(shí)候有點(diǎn)瘸。
B: I guess you didn't know that he had an operation on his knee.
你大概不知道吧,他膝蓋做手術(shù)了。
A: No, I didn't. How's he feeling?
我不知道。他感覺怎么樣?
B: He says he'sfeeling like a million dollars now. Apparently the pain in his knee is all gone.
他說他感覺好極了。看來他膝蓋疼的毛病都給除掉了。
