He's clearly over the moon about something.

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：今天有沒有見到約翰尼？
馬?。簺]有，為什么這樣問？
戈登：嗯，他看來喜不自勝。
馬丁：高興什么？
戈登：他不肯跟人說，但我從沒見過他這么開心。
馬丁：他好賭，也許是賭馬贏了很多錢吧。
戈登說約翰尼看來喜不自勝：He's clearly over the moon。中國人高興，會‘雀躍三尺’；英語國家的人，還會雀躍到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‘開心極了’）。
另一句表示高興的成語，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）。留意這成語多用進行時式。此外，你還可以(as) happy as a lark/a clam（像云雀/蚌一樣高興）。云雀鳴叫似帶無限歡欣，用來比喻高興并不奇怪；蚌為什么也算是歡樂的動物？原來這成語在美國最初流傳時，是(as) happy as a clam at high tide（像漲潮時的蚌一樣高興）。漲潮時，采蚌者就會止步，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（她知道兒子沒有在恐怖襲擊中喪命，高興得不得了）。
