这些幸福满满的词语,总有一个温暖你的心
幸福就是猫吃鱼狗吃肉奥特曼打小怪兽?冬天到了,今天英语君就来分享一些幸福美好的词语。 1. happiness 幸福;快乐;适当 这是最常用的词啦,分享两个作文里可以用到的句子吧。 Happiness doesn't always go with money. 幸福未必伴随金钱而来。 Happiness consists in trying to do one's duty. 幸福在于履行自己的责任。 2. bliss 极乐,狂喜;天赐之福 Lying on a sunny beach is my idea of sheer bliss. 我认为躺在沙滩上晒太阳是最大的幸福。 wedded/domestic bliss 婚姻/家庭生活的幸福 bliss也可以作动词,翻译成“欣喜若狂,狂喜,乐不可支”。 常见搭配有:bliss (sb) out,来个例句: I like to go off on my own - to sit back and bliss out in a darkened movie theater. 我喜欢独自外出——舒服地坐在漆黑的电影院里,乐在其中。 要注意的是,bliss和bless长的相似,但是词性和意思很不相同。 bless的意思是“祝福;使神圣”,是及物动词;bliss意为“快乐”或“幸福”,是名词。 3. blessedness 幸福;福音 blessed是形容词,表示“神圣的;有福的;愉快的”。blessedness就看作是blessed的名词形式。 single blessedness常用来开玩笑,形容独身、未婚之福,比如: live in single blessedness 过单身生活 而我们中文里所说的“福气”,我觉得就可以用blessing表示。这个单词的意思是“幸事;喜事”。 His illness was a blessing in disguise, because he afterwards married his nurse. 他生病倒是因祸得福,因为后来他和他的护士结了婚。 4. eudaemonia 幸福 这个词指因理性而积极生活所带来的幸福,尤指亚里士多德哲学中的理性健康生活。 How do you think that kind of eudaemonia life? 你认为怎么样才算幸福的生活? 5. euphoria 幸福愉快感 They were in a state of euphoria for days after they won the prize. 获奖之后一连几天他们都处于亢奋状态。 《哈利·波特》里的欢欣剂就翻译成了Elixir to Induce Euphoria。带有阳光般金黄色的欢欣剂会给服用它的人一种幸福感。 elixir是一种通常为液体的万灵药,长生不老药。 6. felicity 幸福,幸运,快乐 这是一个偏文学性的词语,比如: joy and felicity 快乐和幸福 Felicity is easily found, but hard to be kept. 找到幸福容易,维持幸福困难。 felicity也可以翻译成“恰当的语句;精妙的评论”,比如: Her article contained one or two verbal felicities that will stay in my mind for years. 她的文章中有一两处精妙之语,会令我多年难以忘怀。 7. weal 福利;幸福 for weal and woe 无论在顺境或逆境;无论是祸是福 之前上热搜的最美翻译官张璐就把“苟利国家生死以,岂因祸福避趋之”这句话翻译为: I shall dedicate myself to the interests of the country in life and death irrespective of personal weal and woe. 8. welfare 福利;福利事业;幸福 My principal concern is my family's welfare. 我至为关心的是我一家的幸福。 这里还整理了8个形容快乐、幸福的英语表达,是不是很丰富呢! 1. have a whale of a time 玩得非常痛快;过得非常愉快 We had a whale of a time on holiday. 假期里我们玩得非常痛快。 2. on cloud nine 高兴极了;异常兴奋;乐不可支 "Was Helen pleased about getting that job?"
