He looks like the cat that ate the canary.

他看起来(臭美得)像只偷腥的猫。

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  汉语口语中,形容一个人因为达到某种心愿而得意、或满足的样子,会用一个比喻“像偷了腥的猫”。英文中,也有一个相类似的表达方式“like the cat that ate the canary”(直译就是:像吃了金丝雀的猫)。这个表达方式在英文中和在中文里一样,都不是很正式的语言,有一点点调侃的味道。
  例句:
  He finally won the game, looking like the cat that ate the canary.
  他最终赢得了比赛,(现在)一副心满意足的样子。
