(单词翻译:单击)

Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my program, this is Ukki. First of all, I would like to ask you a question. What's your favorite color? When I was a little girl, I like pink very much. So how about you?
Today's program,I would like to talk about "pink" this word with all of you guys.

本期的E聊吧,我们一起来聊聊跟pink这个词有关的一些习惯用语。粉色属暖色调,由pink构成的习惯用语,表达的是喜气洋洋的良好感觉,

1. feel in the pink
这个短语的出典可能是健康人的脸颊往往是红扑扑的,而脸色苍白却是虚弱无力的迹象,所以人们用in the pink来表示in good health 健康有力。
例句:Today I sure feel in the pink! I had a good night's sleep, a walk in the fresh air this morning, a good breakfast, and I feel like I can get a whole lot accomplished today!
今天我感觉精力充沛!我昨晚睡了个好觉,一早又在清晨的新鲜空气里散了步,好好吃了顿早餐,所以我觉得自己今天能完成好多工作。

2. tickled pink
Tickled 除了大家都知道的"被弄得发痒或者咯咯笑"的意思外,也有"给逗得高兴"的意思。Tickled pink的意思就是:Very pleased; delighted 感到万分高兴。
例句:I'm tickled pink to hear that Bob's asked Susan to marry him. They're both my good friends and I've always thought they were made for each other. I know they'll be very happy together.
听到Bob向Susan求婚的消息我感到万分高兴。他俩都是我的好朋友,而且我一向觉得他们是天生的一对。我知道他们在一起会非常美满。
