俗話說,人要是走霉運(yùn),喝涼水也會(huì)塞牙。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)最近特別背,干什么事都不順,那大概是brown touch(棕手指)找上你了。
The brown touch is similar to the Midas touch, but instead of everything they touch turning to gold, it becomes worthless.
“棕手指”和“金手指”很像,只不過“金手指”是點(diǎn)石成金,而“棕手指”則是點(diǎn)金成土。
Example:
Mike's wrecked his third car in a year and lost his job and his girl. He's got the brown touch.
這是麥克一年內(nèi)撞毀的第三輛車了,今年他不但丟了工作還被女朋友甩了。他被倒霉的“棕手指”纏住了。
