第二，地道表达

beyond one's wildest dreams

1. 解词释义

Beyond是“超越”的意思，hope是指“愿望，希望”，wildest dreams是指“自由的，没有限制的想象”。那么，beyond one's wildest dreams引申为“做梦也没想到”的意思。也可以说为beyond one's hope。

2. 拓展范例

e.g. Last year when Mr. Lee began his first return into the stock market, becoming a millionaire was beyond his wildest dreams.

当李先生去年开始涉足股市时，他做梦也没想到会变成百万富翁。

e.g. Most royal families in Europe lived a life beyond our wildest dreams.

以往大多数的欧洲皇室家族都过着超乎我们想象的奢侈生活。

e.g. The boss pays them a salary beyond their wildest dreams.

他们做梦也没想到老板付给他们如此丰厚的薪水。

第三，视野拓展

1. win the first place：获得冠军，获得第一名

e.g. Hearing he win the first place finally, we all jumped with joy.

听到熊倪最后获得了第一名，我们都高兴得跳起来了。

e.g. I didn't expect to win the first place in the competition.
