born with a silver spoon(in one's mouth)

这是一个非常经典的谚语,一个人出生时嘴里含着银勺子,意思就是说这个人出生于富贵人家

大家有没有奇怪,为何是银勺子不是金勺子呢?其实,这个谚语中,silver spoon使用了一种英语中常用的修辞手法“押头韵”。

silver spoon两个单词的开头字母都是's',就胜过gold spoon。

例:

She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and has never done a day's hard work in her life.

她是个富二代,一生中从未做过一天的苦活。
