This is the only expression which cannot replace "blessed" in the dialogue. To be "blessed (to have something or someone)" indicates the one is very fortunate, or lucky (to have the opportunity to have someone). "To be blessed", in the religious or ceremonial sense, should not be taken literally in this context. Although "blessed" and "revered" can be synonyms, they are not in this case.
"Lucky" is synonymous with "blessed" in this context.
"Fortunate" is synonymous with "blessed" in this context.
练习 2
Complete the following sentence:
I must , because every time I play the lottery I win a prize.
I must , because every time I play the lottery I win a prize.
Complete the following sentence:
I must be lucky, because every time I play the lottery I win a prize.
I must be lucky, because every time I play the lottery I win a prize.
be lucky: This is correct. The adjective "lucky" is always preceded by a form of the verb "to be" in English. For example: "he was very lucky to survive the accident". Note that the noun "luck" is preceded by the verb "to have", as in the example "I didn't have a lot of luck yesterday, my husband drove over my foot". We can "have luck" but we "are lucky".
have lucky: This is incorrect. The adjective "lucky" is never preceded by the verb "to have".
have chance: This is incorrect. "Chance" can only be preceded by the verb "to have" when it is a noun, for example "we had a chance at winning the title, but we wasted it", in this case the noun "chance" is similar in meaning to an "opportunity".
be chancy: This is incorrect. The adjective "chancy" means risky, uncertain or hazardous, for example "weather forecasting is a chancy business" which means that predicting the weather is very uncertain.

1 lucky: This is the best choice. "To be lucky" means to have "good fortune". Most people regard winning a lot of money by chance as a sign of good fortune.
2 sloppy: This is the best choice. "Sloppy" means "messy", "incoherent", or "disorganized". Someone can be a sloppy dresser, meaning they take no care with their personal appearance. Philip says that Jean's "use of poetic imagery" is "sloppy" meaning that he is unable to express himself in a coherent way.
3 sunny: This is the best choice. While "sunny" is used literally in weather forecasts to describe bright, cloudless conditions, it can also be used to describe bright, cheerful personalities or clothes.
4 dumb: This is the best choice. "Dumb" means "stupid" or "silly". Note that "dumb" is pronounced "dum" and literally refers to someone without the power of speech.

1 Wipe it off!: To "wipe off (a plate)" is to clean it or dry it, usually using a towel or napkin to do so. "Wiping" is done to remove "stains" (marks such as blood, oil, etc) or to dry something such as water. For example: Please wipe off the wet dishes, or wipe off your face, you have ice cream everywhere.
1 Get rid of it!: To "get rid of something" is to "dispose of it", or to remove it from your possession. For example: Why don't you get rid of your old clothes? They're too small for you! While to "get rid of" something and "to throw it away" are often synonymous, "get rid of" doesn't necessarily express the sense of putting something in the garbage or trash. For example: I got rid of my old clothes by giving them to charity.
1 I got lucky!: To "get lucky" is to be fortunate, or to benefit from good chance. For example: I got lucky yesterday and caught the last bus home. This expression shouldn't be used in reference to dirty plates or dishes.
1 Throw it away!: To "throw (garbage) away" is to dispose of it (permanently). This process usually involves bringing your garbage or rubbish to a designated area, where it is picked up and disposed of by "garbage men" using a "garbage truck" to bring it to an area where waste is disposed. Note that dirty dishes or plates should not be "thrown away"!
