點滴英語天天學第39期:肯求婚了!(短語詳解5)
各位親愛的聽衆朋友，歡迎來到《點滴英語天天學》！我是Juliet。Juliet將帶您體驗美國哈弗大學，美國紐約大學的《原味美語》課堂的學習內容。
我們今天聊原滋原味的美語表述。首先，我們還是來回顧一下Nancy說的那番話：
You've got to be kidding. Ken is so much older than she is. He's robbing the cradle. Well, Debbie has always wanted a sugar daddy and now she's going to have one. I have to admit, they do seem crazy about each other. I mean, they'er always making out in public.
我們常說到的“愛某人愛得神魂顛倒了”就是crazy about someone。To be crazy about someone means to be very enthusiastically fond of someone。譯爲：狂熱地喜歡某人，狂熱地愛某人。我們通過下面的例句來熟悉它的意思和把握它的用法：
1. Ann is crazy about John. He's crazy about her, too. I'm mad about their new song.（Ann深愛着John，而John也深愛着Ann。我熱衷於他們的新歌。）
解析短語：be mad about表示“狂熱於某人或某物”。例如：She was very mad about the fine view of the West Lake.（她非常迷戀西湖的優美風光。）He's mad about his biology teacher, but it's only puppy-love.（他迷戀着生物學老師, 但那隻不過是孩子的一片癡情罷了。）
2. He has a solid marriage and three kids he's crazy about.（他的婚姻很穩定，有三個孩子，他都很寵愛。
解析語法：he's crazy about是省略了關係代詞whom的限定性定語從句，先行詞kids，在句中做介詞about的賓語，只能用關係代詞whom。所以可以這樣說：about whom he's crazy。
3. That boy is so crazy about Rosaline that he can't think straight!（那個男孩深深爲Rosaline瘋狂，他已經無法清楚地思考了！）
解析短語：think straight的意思是“思路清晰地考慮問題，清楚地思考”。例如：I can still think straight, see, even in all this mess. And I can remember it all, like it was yesterday.（我頭腦清醒着呢。 你瞧，哪怕一片狼藉，我一切都還記得清清楚楚，彷彿就在昨天。）
Be crazy about後面可以接somebody，也可以接something，表示“熱衷於做某事”“熱衷於某物”。我們來看下面的句子：
She is crazy about classical music .（她對古典音樂很癡迷。）
我們今天的學習就到此結束了，明天繼續來到《點滴英語天天學》聽Juliet說“原味美語”，bye for now!
