Born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth ( 出身高贵 )
成语Born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth中的关键词是Sliver spoon，即银匙。以前，银器是富裕人家的身份象征之一，而生在这种家庭的小孩多以银匙喂食，所以，「银匙」就用来比喻「富贵的人家」。Born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth就是指人出生于富贵之家。记得我们中国人有一句说话是「含着银匙出生」吗？原来英文的说法可以是这么接近的！
又到了看例句的时候了！ “ John does not have to work for his living as he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. “ （John 不用为生活而工作，因他是出生于富贵的家庭中。）
