千万不要错过 收 听 节 目

Definition: Everything a person does turns into a success.

Origin: In ancient Greek stories, Midas was a king who was given the power of turning everything he touched into gold. Ironically a curse in the story, but now meant to be something positive.

A

Mom is such a great cook. She simply has the Midas touch. Whenevery I spoiled a dish she has the magic to save it.

妈妈特别会做菜，她简直就是有点石成金的能力，每次我做菜做砸了，她都能帮我化腐朽为神奇。

B

The history teacher has the Midas touch. Whenever he arrives, the naughtiest boys immediately become very quiet and attentive.

历史老师有神奇的能力。只要他一来，班上最淘气的男孩都能立马安静下来，变得全神贯注。

C

Some people just have the Midas touch; everything they do just turns into a success.
