We've all met someone who makes difficult things look easy. Maybe it's a friend who can sing beautifully without training, a child who solves math problems quickly, or an athlete who seems to excel naturally.

How do English speakers describe this kind of natural ability? Let's take a look at how to use this idiom in conversation.

●born with a gift

This idiom describes people who are naturally talented from young age.

Let's look at the following examples:

◇Sally was born with a gift for music and could play the piano by ear at the age of five.

◇My brother was born with a gift for solving puzzles and enjoys every challenge.

◇Many people believe Mike was born with a gift for languages because he learns them so quickly.

Whether it's music, sports, art, languages, our talent may have given us a good start, but through countless hours of practice helped us grow.

☆Let's practice：

Q：What do you think you were born with a gift for?
A：I think I was born with a gift for __________.

Tell us in the comments below!

有些人可以輕易的完成一些很困難的事，或許你有個朋友從沒接受過聲樂訓練但歌喉媲美歌星，可能見過能解開困難數學算式的幼童，甚至聽聞一個不斷創造最佳紀錄的運動員。

英文母語者如何形容這些有才華的人？讓我們來看看如何在日常使用這句英文慣用語。

●born with a gift 天賦異稟

這句英文慣用語很貼切的形容那些自小就在某個領域才華出眾的人。

讓我們來看看以下例句：

◇Sally was born with a gift for music and could play the piano by ear at the age of five.
Sally天生具有音樂天賦，五歲時就能靠聽覺彈奏鋼琴。

◇My brother was born with a gift for solving puzzles and enjoys every challenge.
我哥哥天生擅長解謎，而且喜歡各種挑戰。

◇Many people believe Mike was born with a gift for languages because he learns them so quickly.
許多人認為Mike天生具有語言天賦，因為他學習語言的速度非常快。

無論是在音樂、運動、藝術、語言領域，天賦給予我們一個好的開始，但是後續的成長與突破仍需要不懈的努力和練習。

☆來練習一下：

Q：What do you think you were born with a gift for? （你覺得你的天賦在哪一方面呢？）
A：I think I was born with a gift for __________. （我覺得我的天賦在__）

Some people can walk into a room full of strangers, and ten minutes later everyone is laughing, talking, and somehow telling them their life story.

At school, at work, at family dinners — they always know exactly what to say. Not because they planned every word, but because conversation seems to come naturally to them. The following idiom is about this kind of smooth and charming way of speaking.

●the gift of the gab

This is an idiom refers to people who have a talent to speak confidently, persuasively and eloquently.

Let's look at the following examples:

◇Shirley used the gift of the gab to calm the angry customer in just a few minutes.

◇Mike has the gift of the gab, so he can make friends anywhere he goes.

◇Grandpa had the gift of the gab and could tell stories for hours without anyone getting bored.

Every meaningful conversation starts the same way: one smile, one question, one moment of courage. Be confident and start to chat in English.

在充滿陌生人的場合，有些人能在十分鐘內與大家相談甚歡，分享生活上的小趣事。無論是在學校、在工作場合、在家庭聚會 - 這些人永遠知道該聊什麼。並非他們刻意引導，只是聊天、帶話題對他們來說是一件很自然的事。

Mike是個能言善道的人，走到哪都可以快速交到朋友。

◇Grandpa had the gift of the gab and could tell stories for hours without anyone getting bored.
爺爺有好口才，講故事時大家都聽得津津有味。

開啟有效交談的方式有幾個，例如: 友善的微笑、引人思考的問題、開口的勇氣。對自己多點自信，大方的開口說英文吧。
