从A到Z畅谈美国流行文化：all over

举个例子：我已经彻底放下Kelly了，正确的说法是：I am completely/100 percent/so over Kelly.错误的说法是：I am all over Kelly. 如果真犯这样的错，那问题就大了，因为all over someone 几乎是over someone的对立面。all over someone最常用的意思是 “跟某人亲密接触、卿卿我我”，比如： Derek was all over Cynthia last night. It was so typical of him. If you didn't know better, you'd probably think they were a couple! (Derek咋天 Cynthia的豆腐。这真是他一贯的风格。如果你不清楚，可能会以为他们是一对呢!)，someone is all over someone else恤，可以延伸为someone and someone are all over each other。

八卦杂志最喜欢报道的就是又逮到哪对明星在公开场合卿卿我我了。Tom Cruise和Katie Holmes, Brad Pitt和Angelina' Jolie, Cameron Diaz和Justin Timberlake，Josh Hartnett和Scarlett Johansson，他们亲热的照片全都上过n本杂志，而且次次都少不了这句：They are all over each other.为此，流行文化还诞生了一个新词：PDA (Public Display of Affection)，公共场合的示爱行为。

all over someone还有一个常用的意思是“拍马屁，献殷勤”。比如： She was all overhjm-at the omcc p arty. What a sycoph'ant!(办公室聚会的时候，她对他大献殷勤。好个马屁精!) 最后，我们再来看一下all over the place。它主要有两种意恩。
