地道表達(dá)
feel like a million dollars
1. 解詞釋義
Feel like a million dollars為美國(guó)口語(yǔ)非正式用法。它的意思并不是“看起來(lái)很有錢”,而是“感到精神非常好”。美國(guó)人很崇尚金錢,所以往往用a million dollars表示“極好”的意思,強(qiáng)調(diào)“好”的程度。因此,I feel like a million dollars.就生動(dòng)地描述了說(shuō)話人精力充沛的身體狀況。這里的dollars可以省略,可以直接說(shuō):I feel like a million. 其英文解釋為:be in excellent health and spirits。
2. 典型范例
e.g. He feels like a million after he got the promotion.
他得到晉升后神采飛揚(yáng)。
e.g. My cold has gone and now I feel like a million dollars.
我感冒好了,我現(xiàn)在感覺精神很好。
e.g. I'm on holiday, it's a beautiful morning, and I feel like a million dollars.
我在度假,這是一個(gè)美麗的早晨,我感到非常愉快。
e.g. He had a headache yesterday but feels like a million dollars today.
他昨天還頭痛,但今天卻感到精神很好。
