　　Li: 大家好我是杨莉，欢迎收听《地道英语》。

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

　　Li: Thats great news. How is he feeling?

　　Rob: Well, obviously, hes 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 dont think so, anyway! I just mean hes 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 Ive never heard of a man jumping over the moon, so he must be very, very, very excited.

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

　　Li: And over it! 如果某人非常高兴，欣喜若狂就可以用 over the moon 这个短语，比喻一个人欣喜至极甚至都可以飞到月球上去 。

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

　　Li: No, but I know its a long way away.

　　Rob: It certainly is! Lets 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 hed passed his exam he was over the moon.

　　I cant hide it; Im over the moon about getting a promotion.

　　Li: 所谓在月亮之上就是形容一个人欣喜若狂。

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

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

　　Rob: No, nothing like that. Its just another way of saying hes very excited and happy hes up on a very high cloud cloud nine.

　　Li: I see. 如果你在九层云霄之上 on cloud nine , 那也同样表示你非常心满意足，就像飞上云端。

　　Rob: Heres some examples:

　　Julie got married last week and shes been on cloud nine ever since.

　　Ive never seen Fred so happy; hes been on cloud nine since he passed his exams!

　　Rob: So, now we know what to say about someone whos 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 hes going to be an accountant .

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

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

　　Li: No, its John, he really is over the moon! And he really is a star!

　　Rob: Come on Li, lets get down to earth and say goodbye to everybody.
