Four-leaf Clover 四瓣三葉草

Clover is actually a type of wild plant with flowers shaped like cotton balls and usually has three leaves on each stem. In fact it is very rare to find a four-leaf clover.

三葉草實(shí)際上是一種野生植物,它的花朵形狀如同棉花球,通常在每一支梗上有三片葉子。事實(shí)上,四個(gè)瓣的三葉草是非常罕見的。

It is believed that to accidentally find a four-leaf clover is a sign of good luck. Moreover, the shape of four-leaf clover resembles the symbol of thecrucifix. There is also an English saying "to live in clover" which basically means "to have enough money to be able to live comfortably".

人們相信,偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)四個(gè)瓣的三葉草是一種幸運(yùn)的象征。而且,四瓣三葉草的外形和十字架相似。英語中還有一句諺語叫做“住在三葉草里”,其基本意思就是“擁有足夠多的錢,能夠十分安逸地生活”。
