be born
表『出生』，动词只能用过去式，silver 指『银制的』，而 spoon
则指『汤匙』。过去欧洲富有人家会替婴儿举行命名礼，仪式中会把代表富贵家庭的银制汤匙给孩子，所以 be born with a
silver spoon in one's mouth 就引申为『生於富贵富贵之家』。
原来阿花的父亲是地产大亨，所以她从来不愁吃穿，一直都是温室里的花朵，也养成她骄纵的个性。我们就可说：
She was born
with a silver spoon in her mouth, and she has been spoiled rotten
since birth.
（她出身有钱人家，从出生就被宠坏。）
＊spoiled (a.)
被宠坏的
rotten (a.)
腐败的，腐坏的
be spoiled
rotten 被宠坏到极点
