欣喜若狂的常见英语口语对话内容为:

Rob: And hello, I'm Rob. Now Li, I need to tell something. You know John in the office? Well, he's got a new job.

Li: That's great news. How is he feeling?

Rob: Well, obviously, he's over the moon.

Li: What? John “在月亮上”?这不成了嫦娥了。Is he going to be an astronaut?

Rob: No Li! Well, I don't think so, anyway! I just mean he's extremely pleased and happy.

Has John really jumped over the moon?

Li: Oh I see. I know the nursery rhyme Hey Diddle

Diddle, "the cow jumped over the moon", but I've never heard of a man jumping over the moon, so he must be very, very, very excited.

Rob: It's just a saying Li. He's not actually jumping over the moon. We say it to show that he's so excited that, in theory, he could jump as high as the moon!

Li: And over it! 假如某人无比愉快,快慰若狂就可能用 over the moon 这个常见英语口语对话短语,比方一个人惊喜至极甚至都可能飞到月球上去

Rob: Actually, Li, do you know how high the moon really is?

Li: No, but I know it's a long way away.

Rob: It certainly is! Let's hear some more examples of people being over the moon…

When Jane heard she had won the lottery, she was over the moon.

When he found out he'd passed his exam he was over the moon

I can't hide it; I'm over the moon about getting a promotion.

Li: 所谓在月亮之上就是形容一个人悲哀欲绝。

Rob: Of course John is not only over the moon about getting a new job – he's also on cloud nine.

Li: What? Moons, clouds… 约翰当初是在九层云霄之上?Is he going to be an airline pilot then, or a bird even?

Rob: No, nothing like that. It's just another way of saying he's very excited and happy – he's up on a very high cloud – cloud nine.

Li: I see. 如果你在九层云霄之上 on cloud nine, 那也同样表现你十分满足如意,就像飞上云端。

Rob: Here's some examples:

Julie got married last week and she's been on cloud nine ever since.
I've never seen Fred so happy; he's been on cloud nine since he passed his exams!

Rob: So, now we know what to say about someone who's very excited and happy.

Li: Yes, two good phrases. So come on Rob, if John is not going to be a pilot or an astronaut, what is his new job? Something just as exciting maybe?

Rob: No – he's going to be an accountant.

Li: 什么? 会计师!Are you sure? What's that I can see jumping over the moon?

Rob: Is it a cow? Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

Li: No, it's John, he really is over the moon! And he really is a star!

Rob: Come on Li, let's get down to earth and say goodbye to everybody.

Li: Oh, Rob, I think he got stuck over there!

John: Help, help!
