最近听几个同事用这个生动的表达 - on cloud nine。同事的先生换工作了,离家近多了,工作环境好多了,钱也挣多了,她说: "He's on cloud nine!"
另一个同事的女儿高中毕业了,她说: "I'm on cloud nine!"
On cloud nine: to be extremely happy. 高兴得飘飘然; 九霄云上。
Shoo-in: a person or thing that is certain to succeed, especially someone who is certain to win a competition. 必胜者
上周末收到朋友发来的短信 “Man they are going all out at South Coast Plaza for Chinese New Year!" "They're having a mini parade at Bloomingdales with a dragon!"
最近女儿申请大学, 不少名校建议或要求她去面试。其中有间藤校问了些很意想不到的问题。有朋友把这些问题称为 "off-the-wall questions."
