地道表达

be out of this(the) world

1. 解词释义

This food is out of the world. 的意思是“这食物的味道好极了”。好到什么程度呢?好得已经在这个世界上找不到好吃的食物了。“此物只应天上有,人间哪有几得问?”所以该句是从此而来的,表示“非凡的,极好的,奇妙的,上等的”。

2. 典型范例

e.g. The scenery in Hawaii is out of this world.

夏威夷的风景美得非凡,宛如仙境。

e.g. That sounds out of the world. Where do I go to sign up for that tour?

那听起来好极了。我到哪里去报名参加呢?

e.g. She had a figure which was out of this world.

她的体型极其优美。

e.g. My boyfriend is just out of the world

我的男朋友是好得不一般呢!

3. 视野拓展

Be out of this (the)world还可以表示(吸毒后)被麻醉的,晕晕乎乎的样子。例如:

Man, is she ever out of this world? What did she take?

喂,她老是这么迷迷糊糊的!她服用了什么啦?
