描述得獎或拿第一名的情境時，光用簡單的英文句子怎麼夠？讓我們一起來學幾個更生動、更道地的表達方式，不僅能秀出你的語言能力，還能讓你「表達情緒」更有層次感！
-
表達「樂翻了」的說法
-
情境：經典表達 be overjoyed / in seventh heaven / on cloud nine。當你開心到不行時，這些片語就派上用場啦！
I was overjoyed when I learned I had won the lottery.
I was in seventh heaven when I learned I had won the lottery.

（當我獲悉我中了樂透時，真的是樂壞了。） -
-

小提醒 ：
"overjoyed" 語氣正式，適合演講、寫作等場合； "on cloud nine" 則輕鬆、浪漫，適合口語或朋友聊天。
小補充 ：
更年輕化的說法：I'm hyped! / I'm buzzing!
I’m hyped about finally getting the scholarship!
（拿到獎學金我整個人都嗨翻了！）
I’m buzzing after hearing the great news!
（聽到這個好消息，我真的超興奮的！） -

「得大獎」正確的表達方式
-
情境：有些人常在使用 "win" 或 "take" 搭配名次時犯錯，例如 "win the first prize (X)"，事實上應該這麼說：
win the first prize (X)
win first prize (✓)（中頭獎）win the second prize (X)
win second prize (✓)（中二獎）win the first place (X)
win first place / take first place (✓)（得第一名 / 冠軍）win the second place (X)
win second place / take second place (✓)（得第二名 / 亞軍） -
