Over the moon 表示为某事非常高兴、欣喜若狂。可以这样记画面：高兴得仿佛飞到了月亮之上。它比较口语，在英式英语中更常见。IELTS Speaking 谈好消息时可以用，作文中则用 delighted。

be + over the moon + about/with + noun; be over the moon + when/that + clause
- My parents were over the moon when I told them I'd passed my driving test.
- She's over the moon about her new job in Barcelona.
- The kids were over the moon with their new puppy.
修改原因
修改前My sister was over the moon from her exam results.
修改后My sister was over the moon about her exam results.
高兴来自消息，所以 from 看起来似乎合理，但它不是这里的正确搭配。Over the moon 后用 about 或 with 引出原因，例如 over the moon about the news。如果原因是一个完整事件，可用 when 或 that 引出从句。修改只把 from 换成 about。
Over the moon 比 happy 或 pleased 程度更强，是真正的大喜，不只是心情不错。找到免费停车位，通常会说 I was pleased；考进心仪的大学，则可以说 I was over the moon when I got in。
