USAGE:

(1.) Русским словосочетаниям "счастливый человек" (в значении "человек, которому везет, у которого все удачно складывается") соответствует в английском языке a lucky man; "счастливый билет (день, номер)" a lucky ticket (day, number). Прилагательное happy соответствует русскому прилагательному "счастливый" только в значении "довольный (положением дел, жизнью)", рад что-либо сделать: I am happy to help you. Я рад Вам помочь. (2.) Прилагательное happy входит в группу слов, описывающих степень душевного, внутреннего состояния человека, которые часто употребляются с глаголами to feel и to look и образуют следующие ряды (от наивысшей до самой низкой степени): joyful, radian - радостный, сияющий; happy, cheerful, jolly - счастливый, бодрый, веселый; light-hearted - беззаботный; conten(ed) with smth - довольный/довольствующийся (чем-либо); dissatisfied with, moody, discontented - неудовлетворенный, не в настроении, недовольный; sad, unhappy - несчастный, грустный; gloomy - хмурый, мрачный; miserable, wretched - несчастный, жалкий: He looks/feels miserable. Он чувствует себя/выглядит несчастным. (3.) Happy употребляется при поздравлении с праздниками, при выражении пожеланий: A Happy New Year! Поздравляю с Новым Годом! Happy birthday! /Many happy returns of the day! Поздравляю с днем рождения! I wish you a happy journey. Желаю Вам доброго пути. (4.) See congratulate, v (5.) See lucky, a ASSOCIATIONS AND IMAGERY: Ощущение надежды и счастья ассоциируется с подъемом, понятием "вврерх" и яркими красками, о чем свидетельствуют следующие примеры: The news lifted his spirits. Его настроение улучшилось/поднялось от этого известия. Things are looking up. Положение, видимо, улучшается. Cheer up! Бодрись! /Все будет хорошо. My spirits rose when I got her letter. Я получил ее письмо, и мое настроение улучшилось/поднялось. I've been walking/floating on air ever since. С тех пор я нахожусь на седьмом небе. I was over the moon/in seventh heaven/on top of the world/on cloud nine when rgey told me. Когда мне об этом сказали, я прямо воспарил/был на седьмом небе от радости. I felt as high as a kite. От счастья я парила в облаках. The future looks very bright/rosy. Будущее рисуется мне в розовых/радужных тонах. She brightened up when she heard the news. Она просияла, услышав эту новость. The bride looked radiant. Невеста сияла от счастья

20 jolly as a sandboy

( (as) jolly as a sandboy)

очень весёлый, жизнерадостный, полный жизни; ≈ в нём жизнь бьёт ключом

‘I feel as if the house were on the sea,’ said Martin, staggering when he rose; ‘and am utterly wretched.’ ‘I'm as jolly as a sandboy, myself, sir,’ said Mark. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Martin Chuzzlewit’, ch. XVII) — - Мне кажется, будто дом плывет по волнам, - сказал Мартин и встал пошатываясь, - и я чувствую себя совершенно несчастным. - Зато я полон жизни, как молодой месяц, сэр, - сказал Марк.

She would send them a lot of tops, and balls, and marbles, and ninepins, and make them all as jolly as sandboys. (Ch. Kingsley, ‘The Water-Babies’, ch. VIII) — Она посылала им всем множество волчков, мячей, шариков для игры, кеглей, и радости их не было конца.

Look at you and me; we got our troubles, and 'ere we are - jolly as sand-boys! (J. Galsworthy, ‘Caravan’, ‘Late-299’) — Возьмем, к примеру, вас и меня: неприятностей у нас хватает, но мы не теряем бодрости духа.
