情態副詞

Now before we even get started, we need to know what an idiom actually is.

現在，在開始之前，我們需要知道成語到底是什麼。

程度副詞

An idiom is a phrase or a group of words that has a meaning that isn't apparent or obvious just by seeing what words are used inside of the phrase.

成語是一個短語或一組詞語，其含義並不明顯，僅看短語中使用了哪些詞語就知道。

The first idiom I want to talk about is on cloud nine.

我要講的第一個成語是九霄雲外。

Now on cloud nine just means to be really, really happy.

現在九霄雲外的意思就是非常非常開心。

Now there's a couple of explanations of where this phrase comes from, and we're going to go through some of them.

關於這句話的出處，有幾種解釋，我們將一一道來。

One explanation of where this idiom comes from is from a cloud almanac or a guide to different types of clouds from 1895.

關於這個成語的來源，有一種解釋是來自 1895 年的一本雲年鑑或不同類型雲的指南。

And there were 10 different cloud shapes, and the ninth cloud shape was extremely fluffy and big, and it looked really white, and it looked like a cloud that was really comfortable.

一共有 10 種不同的雲朵形狀，第九種雲朵形狀非常蓬鬆，而且很大，看起來非常白，看起來就像一朵非常舒服的雲。

Like if you sat on top of it, you would be really happy.

就像如果你坐在它上面，你會非常開心。

And some people think that it came from this cloud almanac.

有些人認為它來自這本雲年鑑。

Other sources claim that this idiom traces way further back in time, back to Jewish and Muslim mystics.

其他資料稱，這個成語的歷史可以追溯到更久遠的猶太教和穆斯林神祕主義者。

Now these mystics believed that heaven was divided into seven different rings, and that God himself dwelled in the seventh ring.

現在，這些神祕主義者認為，天堂被分為七個不同的環，而上帝本人就住在第七個環裡。

So if you were with God in the seventh ring or the seventh heaven, you would be very, very happy.

是以，如果你與上帝同在第七環或第七天堂，你會非常非常幸福。

And there are some hints that this might be where it actually came from, because in the United States in 1960, it was on cloud seven, not on cloud nine.

有一些跡象表明，這可能就是它的真正來源，因為在 1960 年的美國，它是在雲層七，而不是在雲層九。

And some people claim that because of George Harrison's music, the guy from the Beatles, and also the band The Temptations, because they constantly talked about a cloud nine in their music, that the phrase changed from cloud seven to cloud nine.

有些人認為，由於披頭士樂隊的喬治-哈里森（George Harrison）和誘惑樂隊（The Temptations）經常在音樂中提到 "九霄雲外"（cloud nine），"九霄雲外 "一詞就從 "七霄雲外 "變成了 "九霄雲外"。

So let's take a look at an example of this idiom actually being used, like in this sentence.

讓我們來看看這個成語的實際使用例子，比如這個句子。

When Gavin kissed Jess, Jess was on cloud nine.

當加文親吻傑絲時，傑絲如墜雲端。

So by me saying she was on cloud nine, I'm saying that she was extremely happy.

所以，我說她在九霄雲外，是說她非常開心。

Another example of cloud nine would be like this.

When they won the championship, they were on cloud nine.

當他們贏得冠軍時，他們如墜雲端。

So right here, there's a team, they won the championship, they worked really hard for it, and they finally won.

就在這裡，有這樣一支隊伍，他們贏得了冠軍，他們為此付出了巨大的努力，最終贏得了勝利。

It feels like there's no problem in the world whatsoever because they won.

因為他們贏了，感覺世界上什麼問題都沒有了。

So whenever you say that someone's on cloud nine, you're saying that they're really, really happy.

所以，每當你說一個人在雲端時，你就是在說他真的非常非常開心。
