safe and sound：安然无恙
一、短语记忆
这个短语的关键就是sound这个单词，我们以前学过它的名词含义“声音”，动词含义“听起来”。其实这个单词还有一个形容词含义：
柯林斯：If a structure, part of someones body, or someones mind is sound, it is in good condition or healthy. 健康的; 状况良好的
When we bought the house, it was structurally sound.
当我们买下这房子时，其结构完好无损。
知道了sound的形容词含义，那么safe and sound这个短语的含义就很简单了。
二、例句

2.听到两位宇航员安然无恙返回地球的消息，人们欣喜若狂。(wild)
