英语俚语习语小对话第39期: "乐不可支"英语怎么说? (mp3和文本下载)

in the seventh heaven

讲解：该习语出自古希腊哲学家亚里士多德的著作《论天》。在犹太文学里，离地最远的七重天是天宇的最高层，是天堂，也是上帝住的地方。In the seventh heaven字面意思是“在天堂”后“在极乐世界”，引申为“极度高兴”或“感到很幸福”。

支持范例：

Eg. Mary was in the seventh heaven; she had had a bicycle for her birthday.
玛丽在生日那天得到了一辆自行车，简直乐不可支。

Eg. He was in the seventh heaven because he got a gold medal of winning the 800 - meter race.
