[心事重重]something weighs heavily on one's mind
老板这几天沉默寡言，看起来好象心事重重的。
The boss is quite down these days, He seems to have something weighing heavily on his mind.
我们日常所讲的"心事重重"或"有什么心事"之类的说法可以用something weighs heavily on one's mind 的句式来表示。此语中的weigh是"重压"，与on one's mind 合在一起就成了"某事沉重地压在某人的心头"，也就等于"心事重重"。
Sample Sentences
1、 他看起来有些心事重重的。你知道他有什么心事吗？
Something seems to have been weighing heavily on his mind recently. Do you know what that something is ?
2、 他女儿要和一个外国人结婚，这总使他感到心事重重的。
The fact that his daughter is going to marry a foreigner seems to weigh heavily on his mind.

[使人大为激动]make one's spine tingle
小李答应与他结婚使他大为激动。
Xiao Li's promise to marry him made his spine tingle.
汉语"使人激动"的说法曾被误译为make one's blood boil。有人将此习语译成"使人热血沸腾"。这些都是由于对此习语的误解所致。实际上，make one's blood boil 的意思是"激怒某人"，而非"使人激动"。"使人激动"的说法除了可用make one excited 的片语来表示，在大多数的情况下均可用make one's spine tingle的说法。此语中的spine是"脊骨"；tingle是"震颤"或"抖动"，喻指"激动"。
