Have a blast! 玩得很開心

blast 原指「爆炸」，如：Many people were injured in the blast.（許多人在

爆炸中受了傷。）a blast of wind 是「一陣強風」，a blast of trumpet 則是「突

然發(fā)出的喇叭聲」，當動詞則有「轟炸；猛烈抨擊」的意思，由此而見，blast 是個很「爆

烈」的字，但have a blast 可不是拿個炸彈來炸自己或用震耳的樂聲來轟自己，而是指

have a great time－「玩得很開心」！高興的時候，笑得上氣不接下氣，整個人high

到不行，這種感覺，不就跟炸彈開花一樣的瘋狂嗎？至狂也，至樂也！不管是出國樂逍遙、還

是到處瘋party，只要玩得開心，都可以對人說：I had a blast! 或It was a blast!

例：A: Hey, Daniel! How was your trip to Palau last week?

嘿，丹尼爾﹗你上星期去帛琉好玩嗎？

B: We had a blast! I can't forget the beautiful beaches over there.

我們玩得非常愉快﹗我忘不了那邊的美麗沙灘。
