a jinx

每日一詞---a jinx


什麼是jinx呢？它就是指掃把星或厄運。

比如只要某人在場，什麼事都做不好： With a jinx like him, nothing can be done.
而有時候某人諸事不順，覺得好像被什麼東西纏上了：Sometimes she would mess up everything, as if there were a jinx on her.

當然口語一點，有時候也可以指衰神、帶來衰運的東西：She is said to be a jinx, who would bring bad luck to whomever she marries. 她就像個衰神，誰娶她誰倒楣。The watch is like a jinx; every time I wear it I lose something. 那隻錶老是帶衰，每次戴它都會掉東西。
