先看简短解释

How smart people say "I'm jealous"

To say "I'm jealous" in a friendly way, praise the other person's luck instead of naming your feeling. "Living the dream" and "You've got it made" sound warm and playful. "Must be nice for you" is more honest and dry, so say it with a smile or it can sound bitter.

逐句讲解

Living the dream. 语气: Playful and warm

Say it about someone's great life, like a trip, a new job or a quiet weekend. It works as a light joke between friends. Avoid it when the person is having a hard time, because it can sound sarcastic.

“Living the dream.”

出自Save Yourselves! (2020)
You've got it made. 语气: Friendly, a bit envious

Use it when someone's life looks easy, for example a short commute, a great boss or a free apartment. Don't use it about something the person worked very hard for, because it can suggest their success was easy.

“You've got it made.”

出自The Initiation of Sarah (2006)
Must be nice for you. 语气: Dry, honest envy

Use it to admit you are a little envious in a gentle, joking way. Smile, or it sounds bitter. Avoid it with your boss or with people you don't know well.

“Must be nice for you.”

出自Life or Something Like It (2002)
Lucky you! 语气: Light and cheerful

Use it for small pieces of good news, like a day off or a free ticket. It is short and safe in most situations, including at work.
I'm so jealous, in a good way. 语气: Open and friendly

Use it when you want to name the feeling but show that you are happy for the person. The words "in a good way" remove the negative meaning of jealous.
I wish that were me. 语气: Soft and wistful

Use it when someone describes something you would really like to have or do. It sounds sincere, not bitter. Don't repeat it too often, or you may sound sorry for yourself.

常见错误

不太合适 ~~Must be nice for you. (said with a flat face and no smile)~~

更合适的说法 Must be nice for you! (with a smile, then a kind follow-up)

The words are dry. Without a smile or a friendly next sentence, listeners may hear real bitterness instead of playful envy.
不太合适 ~~You've got it make.~~

更合适的说法 You've got it made.

The fixed phrase uses the past participle "made." "Have it made" means your life or situation is easy and comfortable.
不太合适 ~~Living a dream.~~

更合适的说法 Living the dream.

The set phrase uses "the." With "a," it sounds like a literal description, and native speakers won't hear the friendly joke.
