after one's own heart



称心如意，正中下怀。此语源出圣经《撒母耳记上》



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

该句原文：But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded. you. I Samuel 13:14

现在你的王位必不长久。耶和华已经寻着一个合他心意的人，立他作百姓的君，因为你没有遵守耶和华所吩咐你的。（《撒母耳记上》）13章14节

举个例子：

I enjoy a glass of beer in the evening. You're a man after my own heart. Let's go and have one now. 我在晚上要享用一杯啤酒。你我是知心朋友，让我们现在就去喝一杯。

John's a man after my own heart; he is loyal, intelligent, and a good friend besides.

约翰是合我意的人，他为人忠实、聪明，而且也是我的好朋友。

Tanner: ...However, cheer up; we are going to have a day after your own heart. George Bernard Shaw

坦纳：... 不过，高兴点吧；我们要使你今天过得称心如意。－乔治肖伯纳

此外，除了可以指某人合自己心意，这个词组也可以用于某物。比如：

This is a house after my own heart, small, cosy and yet dignified in appearance.

这是一座小巧、舒适而外表又显得堂皇的房子，完全符合我的心意。
