一， 詞海拾貝

proud as a peacock

exp. To be overly proud. （過于驕傲的，得意洋洋的，神氣活現的）

e.g. Mike's been strutting around proud as a peacock since he won that award.

Mike自從得獎之后就一直得意洋洋地走來走去。

e.g. Tom's been as proud as a peacock ever since he found out he came in top of the class—he hasn't missed a single opportunity to remind us.

自從Tom知道他是班里的尖子生以來，他一直得意洋洋——時時都在提醒我們他是尖子生。

e.g. He looks like a total douchebag, strutting around the club proud as a peacock in his cheap suit and gold chains.

他看起來像個十足的人渣——穿著廉價的西裝，戴著金項鏈，得意洋洋地地在俱樂部里走來走去。

e.g. She was proud as a peacock when she passed her driving test at the first attempt.

她第一次參加駕駛考試就順利過關，便洋洋得意起來。

二， 語匯積累

no wonder that……：難怪……；無怪乎……

e.g. No wonder that young fellow was out of his mind about her.

無怪這個小伙子要為她失魂落魄呢！

e.g. When it is that easy to come by it is no wonder that we could have a bowl of it every day.

象這樣地取求很便，當然能得日餐一碗了。

其它：win the top scholarship：獲得頭等獎學金
