地道表達

be out of this（the） world

1. 解詞釋義

This food is out of the world. 的意思是“這食物的味道好極了”。好到什麼程度呢？好得已經在這個世界上找不到好吃的食物了。“此物只應天上有，人間哪有幾得問？”所以該句是從此而來的，表示“非凡的，極好的，奇妙的，上等的”。

2. 典型範例

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

夏威夷的風景美得非凡,宛如仙境。

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

那聽起來好極了。我到哪裏去報名參加呢？

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

她的體型極其優美。

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

我的男朋友是好得不一般呢！

3. 視野拓展

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

喂，她老是這麼迷迷糊糊的！她服用了什麼啦？
