Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's video, we are going to talk about heaven expressions.We are going to talk about ten heaven expressions.
大家好，我是Emma，在今天的视频中，我们要来讲讲用"heaven"构成的短语。我们会讲到十个用"heaven"组成的短语。
So, I've already made a video on hell expressions, this video will go very well with that one because now we're doing the opposite.
我已经做过一个关于用"hell"构成的短语的视频，这个视频和那一个会很搭的，因为我们现在要讲的正好相反。
So, what is heaven? Well, heaven, first of all, is a very good place.
那么，"heaven"是什么呢？首先，"heaven"（天堂）是一个非常棒的地方。
It's...different religions believe different things, and in some religions, people believe that when you die, you go to a very beautiful place that's very nice and wonderful in every way.
不同的宗教相信的内容不太一样，但是在一些宗教里，人们相信人死后会去一个非常美丽的地方，那里各方面都很好，特别棒。
So maybe you believe in these religions, maybe you don't, but Heaven is a place that some people think you go to when you die, if you're good.
也许你们信仰这些宗教，也许不信，但是"Heaven"是一些人认为你死后会去的地方，如果你是好人的话。
So, in English, we have many expressions using the word: "heaven".So let's get started and look at some of them.
所以在英语里面，我们有很多使用"heaven"这个单词的短语。那我们开始来讲其中一些吧。
Okay, so the first one I want to teach you today is a very romantic expression: "A match made in heaven".So, what does this mean?
我今天要教你们的第一个短语非常浪漫，那就是"A match made in heaven"（天作之合）。这是什么意思呢？
If there is "a match made in heaven", it means that there is a very, very good pairing.
如果有"a match made in heaven"，意思就是有一个非常非常好的配对。
So there're usually two people who fall in love and they're perfect for each other, we would say they are a match made in heaven.
通常是两个相爱的人，他们对彼此来说非常合适，那我们会说他们是天作之合。
Do you think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are a match made in heaven?
你们认为布拉德皮特和安吉丽娜朱莉是天作之合吗？
I think my parents, my mom and my dad, are a match made in heaven.
我认为我的父母，我母亲和我父亲是一对天作之合。
I want you to think about if you know any couples who are perfect for each other.
我想让你们想想自己知不知道非常适合彼此的夫妻。
If you do know these couples, you can say: "They are a match made in heaven."
如果你们知道有这样的夫妻，那你们可以说："They are a match made in heaven." （他们真是天作之合）。
Okay, so our second expression: "To move heaven and earth", what does this mean?
好了，我们的第二个短语是"To move heaven and earth"（竭尽全力，千方百计），这是什么意思呢？
It means you have a goal and you will do anything to achieve this goal.
意思是你有一个目标，而你为了实现这个目标愿意做任何事情。
So, for example: maybe someone stole my bike and I'm very angry, and my goal is to find the person who stole my bike.
比如说，假如有人偷了我的自行车，我非常生气，我的目标就是找到这个偷我车的人。
I can say: "I will move heaven and earth to find the person who stole my bike."
那我就可以说：“我会竭尽全力找到这个偷我车的人”。
Okay, maybe your goal is to learn English; you really want to learn English.
也许你的目标是学英语，你非常想学好英语。
You can say: "I will move heaven and earth to learn English.", "I will learn... I will move heaven and earth to stop this war.", "I will move heaven and earth to find my soul mate."
你可以说：“我会用尽全力学好英语”，“我会千方百计阻止这场战争”，“我会竭尽全力找到我的灵魂伴侣”。
Okay? So it just means you will do anything to accomplish something.
它的意思就是为了完成某事，你愿意做任何事情。
Okay, let's see the next expression: "I thought I died and..."oh, wait, "I thought I died and..." sorry... "I thought I died and went to heaven."
好了，我们来看下一个短语："I thought I died and..."，等一下，"I thought I died and..."不好意思，"I thought I died and went to heaven" （我感觉就像上了天堂一样）。
Okay? This is a very common expression.
这是一个很常用的表达。
When you are so happy, something very, very good happens, you can say: "I thought I died and went to heaven."
当你非常开心，某个非常非常好的事情发生了时，你可以说：“我感觉就像上了天堂一样”。
So what are some examples of this?
有什么例句呢？
Well, maybe you find the best tasting cake in the world; it's a very good cake, you have a bite: "Mm, I thought I died and went to heaven."
可能你找到了世界上最好吃的蛋糕，是一个非常好吃的蛋糕，你咬了一口说：“嗯，我感觉就像上了天堂一样”。
Okay? Or maybe...maybe you had a very tasty drink; it was a very good drink.
或者可能你有一杯非常好喝的饮料。
After drinking this: "I thought I died and went to heaven."So it pretty much means something is very, very good.
喝了之后你说：“我感觉就像上了天堂一样”。这基本上就是表示某件事非常非常好。
Okay, so now let's look at some more expressions.
现在我们再来看一些短语。
Okay, so now let's look at some more expressions, but before we do, there's one thing I want to say.
好了，现在我们再来看一些短语，但是在此之前，有一件事我想说一下。
A lot of these expressions are used in conversation.
这些短语中很多都是用在对话中的。
Okay? So you might not find them so frequently in writing, you will find them more often when people are talking, in conversation.
所以你们在书面语中可能不会经常看到它们，但是你们会更常在人们讲话的时候，在对话中发现它们。
So let's look at number four: "Heaven forbid", what does this mean?
我们来看第四个短语："Heaven forbid"（千万不要这样，但愿不会如此），这是什么意思呢？
"Heaven forbid you fail the test tomorrow.", "Heaven forbid there's a huge emergency.", "Heaven forbid the house catches on fire."
可以说“但愿明天的考试你不会不及格”，“千万不要出现极大的紧急事件”，“但愿这座房子不会着火”。
This means that you hope something doesn't happen.Okay? So it means hope that something bad doesn't happen.
它的意思是你希望某事不要发生。所以它的意思是希望坏事不会发生。
"Heaven forbid you never watch an engVid video again, that would be terrible."
比如：“但愿你们不会永远不再观看engVid的视频了，不然就太糟糕了”。
So it means you don't want to something to happen.Number five: "Heaven only knows".
所以它的意思是你不想某事发生。第五个："Heaven only knows"（只有天知道）。
We use this when we're talking about a question that there's no answer or it's impossible to know the answer.
我们在讲一个没有答案，或者不可能知道答案的问题时，会用这个短语。
"Heaven only knows when it will rain next.", "Heaven only knows when there will be peace on earth.", "Heaven only knows if we will ever meet aliens."
“只有天知道下次下雨是什么时候”，“天晓得什么时候地球上会变得和平”，“只有天知道我们到底会不会见到外星人”。
Okay? So, "Heaven only knows" is a question that has no answer."To be in heaven", this is a very happy expression.
知道了吗？所以"heaven only knows"指的是没有答案的问题。接下来："To be in heaven"（身处天堂，高兴极了），这是一个非常开心的短语。
"To be in heaven" means you are very, very happy, everything is good.
"to be in heaven"的意思是你非常非常开心，一切都很美好。
So, for example: if you like to shop, you like to go shopping, maybe you go to a shopping mall and it's a big shopping mall, so many sales, you could say: "I'm in heaven."
举个例子，如果你喜欢购物，那么你去商场的时候，这个商场非常大，有很多出售的东西，你可以说：“我宛若身处天堂”。
Okay? Or, I have a dog, when my dog eats dinner, I could say: "Oh, she's in heaven.", meaning she's very, very happy. Okay?
或者，我有一只狗，当我的狗在吃晚餐的时候，我可以说：“哦，它像在天堂一样”，意思就是它非常非常高兴，知道了吗？
This is actually my favorite number seven: "Stink to high heaven" or: "Reek to high heaven", so this is "reek", "stink".
第七个短语其实是我最喜欢的一个："Stink to high heaven"或"Reek to high heaven"（臭气熏天），这里的动词是"reek"，"stink"。
What do "reek" and "stink" mean? It means smells bad.Okay? When something smells...smells very, very bad, it stinks or it reeks.
"reek"和 "stink"是什么意思呢？意思是非常难闻，很臭。当某个东西非常非常难闻的时候，可以说"it reeks"或"it stinks"。
So if something "stinks to high heaven", this means it smells very, very, very bad.
所以如果某个东西"stinks to high heaven"，意思是它非常非常臭。
Okay? So maybe you walk into a kitchen, someone's cooking and the food, ugh, it smells so bad, you could say: "Ugh, this kitchen reeks to high heaven.", "This food stinks to high heaven."
可能你走进了一间厨房，某个人正在做饭，那个食物非常难闻，你可以说：“咦，这间厨房臭气熏天”，“这个食物臭死了”。
It's not so nice, but you could also say this about a person: "Oh, she stinks to high heaven."
这么做不太好，但是你也可以用它来形容一个人：“她臭死了”。
Okay? Not nice, but it's possible, okay, so I like number seven.
这么做不好，但是可以这么用，我喜欢第七个短语。
Number eight: "Heaven on earth", "heaven on earth" means that something is very, very good.
第八个："heaven on earth"（人间天堂），"heaven on earth"的意思是某事非常非常好。
Just...it's very similar to: "be in heaven".
和"be in heaven"这个短语差不多。
For example, if you like to go to the beach...I went on a trip to a country called Belize; beaches, very, very beautiful, very beautiful ocean views, it was an amazing experience.
举个例子，如果你喜欢去海滩......我去过一个叫做Belize的国家旅行，那里的海滩非常非常美丽，海景很美，是一次非常精彩的体验。
I could say that: "The beaches of Belize are heaven on earth." Okay? They're incredible.
我可以说：“Belize的海滩就像人间天堂”，意思是它们美得令人难以置信。
Maybe you've gone somewhere and it has a very beautiful mountain and a lovely waterfall, you could say: "This place is heaven on earth.", "This place is paradise."
也许你去过某个地方，那里有着一座美丽的山和漂亮的瀑布，你可以说：“这个地方就像人间天堂”，“这个地方是乐园”。
So we use it when we're talking about a place that's very beautiful.Number nine: "For heaven's sake", what does this mean?
我们在描述很美丽的地方时会用到这个短语。第九个："for heaven's sake"（看在上帝的份上，天呐），这是什么意思呢？
We use it as an exclamation, we use it to emphasize something.
我们用它来表示感叹，用它来强调某事。
So, for example: maybe you're surprised, maybe someone does something and it makes you angry, we use it in these ways.
比如，可能你很惊讶，也许某个人做了什么事让你非常生气，这些情况下就可以使用这个短语。
So, for example: if I'm on my bicycle and somebody cuts me off, you could say: "Oh, for heaven's sake, don't these people know how to drive?"
举个例子，假如我在骑着自行车，然后有个人挡住了我，那就可以说“天呐，这些人是不知道怎么开车吗？”
Maybe I'm with my friends, one of them does something very stupid, "For heaven's sake, why did you do that?"
也许我和朋友们在一起，他们中有一个人做了一件很蠢的事情，然后我就可以说：“看在上帝的份上，你为什么要那么做？”
Okay? So we use it to show our surprise, our shock, sometimes our anger.
知道了吗？我们用这个短语来表示惊讶，震惊，有时候也表示愤怒。
So this one: "For heaven's sake", we don't say it in a happy way, we don't say: "Oh, for heaven's sake, this is wonderful."
"for heaven's sake"这个短语我们是不会用很开心的语气来说的，我们不会很开心地说：“哦，天呐，这太棒了”。
No. It's usually for you're shocked, you're surprised, and often about something bad.Finally, number 10: "Heavenly".
不，这通常是用来表示你很震惊，很惊讶，经常与某个不好的事情有关。最后，第十个："heavenly"（美好的）。
If something is "heavenly" it also means it's very good, very similar to: "to be in heaven", very similar.
如果某个东西很"heavenly"，那就是说它非常好，和"to be in heaven"非常相似。
So maybe I have a tea and I smell the tea, "Oh, it smells heavenly."Maybe I'm eating a slice of pizza: "Mm, this pizza is heavenly."
可能我有一杯茶，我闻了闻这杯茶然后说：“哇，这太好闻了”。也许我在吃披萨，然后说：“嗯，这个披萨太美味了”。
It's another way to say: "good" or: "great", it means it's very, very good. Okay?
这是另一种表示"good"或"great"的方式，意思是非常非常好。
