BBC地道英语:Happy bunny 快乐兔

Neil: Hello, I'm Neil. I'm having a bad day. Something terrible's happened. My goodness, what's that approaching?!

Li: Helloooooo, hello Neil!!!

Neil: It's Li! What's going on?

Li: You'll never guess what's happened to me!

Neil: You do look like a happy bunny!

Li: Ha ha, yes! I am. Neil 说我看起来像只happy bunny 就是快乐的小兔子。又是一个奇怪的英语表达。他的意思是说我看起来特别高兴。可是为什么会提到兔子？我也不明白。 那么让我们来看看这个短语的通常用法是什么。

Examples

That's brilliant news, you must be a very happy bunny!

I'm a happy bunny today because I passed my English test.

Li: Oh, yes, Neil, I am a happy bunny! 你怎么了？发生什么事情了？

Neil: I'm not a happy bunny.

Neil: You see, something awful happened today.

Are you a happy bunny?

Li: Neil 说他今天碰到了不顺心的事情，he's not a happy bunny, 他心情不好，我们可以形容他不是只快乐的小兔子。

Examples

Someone's stolen Michael's car. He is not a happy bunny!

Jane has not been a happy bunny ever since she broke up with her boyfriend.

Li: 那么Neil, 到底发生什么事情了呢？

Neil: I had a ticket for tonight's concert with Kyladonna Jagger, the most famous and brilliant superstar alive! I was such a happy bunny.

Li: Wow! 我今天晚上也要去Kyladonna Jagger 的演唱会，所以我特别高兴！

Neil: I was eating lunch in the park and I put my ticket next to me. But a gust of wind blew it away!

Li: Oh dear. 一阵风把你的演唱会票给吹走了？呵呵，这正好和我相反。 我坐在公园里的长椅上，突然一张演唱会的票落到我的腿上。你说巧不巧？

Neil: Hang on, let me see that.

Li: Here it is. You see? There is my ticket.

Neil: That's mine!

Li: No! 不，这是我的！

Neil: Give it back!

Both: Oh no!

Li: 你看，都是你！这演唱会谁都去不成了！

Neil: Now I'm definitely not a happy bunny.

Li: Nor am I.
