I don't think I've ever seen her happier!自从Mary升职了以后，她一直都超高兴的。我觉得我没见过她这么高兴的样子。eg: When Michael was born I was on cloud nine.当Michael出生的时候，我乐坏了。eg: He was on cloud nine after winning the game.他在赢得那场比赛之后无比开心。eg: He's been on cloud nine ever since she agreed to marry him.自从她答应要嫁给他，他就一直特别高兴。eg: -- "Was Helen pleased about getting that job?" -- "Pleased? She was on cloud nine!"-- Helen得到那份工作高兴吗？-- 高兴？她简直开心到爆炸好吗！另外我们这边简单说一下其中的scoop什么意思，平时常见的意思是：勺子；口语中有一个相对小众的用法：the most recent information about someone or something, especially something personal or private关于某个人/某个事物的最新消息，尤其是一些私人的、隐私的消息所以inside scoop翻译成“内幕消息”也还是比较合适的。eg: Did you get the inside scoop on their divorce?他们离婚那事儿，你有内幕消息吗？【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】自从得知自己被牛津大学录取的消息，Sally一直就特别高兴。
