He's clearly over the moon about something.
對(duì)話(huà) Gordon: Have you seen Johnny today?
Martin: No, why?
Gorden: Well he's clearly over the moon about something.
Martin: What about?
Gordon: He won't tell anybody, but I've never seen him looking so happy.
Martin: He's a betting man, so perhaps he's won a lot of money on the horses.
戈登：今天有沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到約翰尼？
馬丁：沒(méi)有，為什么這樣問(wèn)？
戈登：嗯，他看來(lái)喜不自勝。
馬?。焊吲d什么？
戈登：他不肯跟人說(shuō)，但我從沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)他這么開(kāi)心。
馬?。核觅€，也許是賭馬贏(yíng)了很多錢(qián)吧。
戈登說(shuō)約翰尼看來(lái)喜不自勝：He's clearly over the moon。中國(guó)人高興，會(huì)‘雀躍三尺’；英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人，還會(huì)雀躍到over the moon（在月亮上方），例如：Prince Andrew and Sarah said they were "over the moon" when they announced their engagement in 1986（一九八六年，安德魯王子和莎拉宣布訂婚，聲言‘開(kāi)心極了’）。
另一句表示高興的成語(yǔ)，是to walk/tread on air（踏著空氣走路）。人逢喜事，輕松得似可凌空而行，頗像中文所謂‘飄飄然’，例如：(1) He was walking on air after his boss promised him promotion（他上司答應(yīng)提升他之后，他就飄飄然了）。(2) She is walking on air because Andrew has asked her out for a date（安德魯邀她外出游玩，使她興奮不已）。留意這成語(yǔ)多用進(jìn)行時(shí)式。此外，你還可以(as) happy as a lark/a clam（像云雀/蚌一樣高興）。云雀鳴叫似帶無(wú)限歡欣，用來(lái)比喻高興并不奇怪；蚌為什么也算是歡樂(lè)的動(dòng)物？原來(lái)這成語(yǔ)在美國(guó)最初流傳時(shí)，是(as) happy as a clam at high tide（像漲潮時(shí)的蚌一樣高興）。漲潮時(shí)，采蚌者就會(huì)止步，蚌自然高興。現(xiàn)在，at high tide三字給略去了，但蚌還是快樂(lè)的象征，例如：She was as happy as a clam when she learned that her son had survived the terrorist attack（她知道兒子沒(méi)有在恐怖襲擊中喪命，高興得不得了）。
