The brown touch is similar to the Midas touch, but instead of everything they touch turning to gold, it turns to shit。
“棕手指”和“金手指”很像,只不過“金手指”是點石成金,而“棕手指”則是點金成土。
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。
