工作学习 / 外语学习 / Silver spoonI read the following comments. Could someone tell me what silver spoon mean? (It is a comment on Justin Trudeau)

I firmly believe that if his name was Justin Smith, with the same looks, same qualifications, and maybe even the same silver-spoon lifestyle, he would not even be talked about. Add the name and somehow he's qualified to run the country? It's time to start proving it.

就跟贾宝玉出生时一样，嘴里叼着块宝玉。Silver spoon就是那块宝玉。

Thanks! "from the idea that silver spoons were given at birth to wealthy children". Seems like a traditional idea. :)

话说回来还是中国人有仙气：玉石为宝。英国人特俗：刨食的玩意都能当宝。LLOL。
