in seventh heaven: 異常幸福

這個習慣用語用了有兩百來年了。它的出典可能是猶太人或者穆斯林的古老信仰，說是天堂分為七層，而至高無上、盡善盡美的就是那第七層，惟有上帝和身居高位的天使才能住在七重天上美倫美奐的天宮里。

例句：Mary and Bob are still in seventh heaven a year after their wedding. They were sweethearts all through college and never looked at anyone else -- they're the happiest people I know.

瑪麗和鮑勃在結婚一年后的今天仍然極其幸福美滿。整個大學時代他們就心心相映。他倆在我認識的所有人中是最幸福的一對。
