| Reference: have the Midas touch Reference information: kada se nekome novac prosto "lijepi za prste" (za razliku od onih kojima on "biježi") Takođe "soft: easy money" http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/have the Midas touch have the Midas touch Fig. to have the ability to be successful, especially the ability to make money easily. (From the name of a legendary king whose touch turned everything to gold.) gravy train bi bilo zanimanje ili izvor prihoda podoban za gore navedeno "lijepljenje" http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gravy train An occupation or other source of income that requires little effort while yielding considerable profit. S tim da po mom mišljenju, objašnjenje dato u pitanju ne odgovara potpuno samom izrazu "zalijepiti se za prste" iako je "easy money" uglavnom "dirty money"... pa evo još opcija make a fast/quick buck - to make money with little effort The young man is very lazy and he is always trying to make a fast buck. ill-gotten gains - money acquired in a dishonest or illegal manner ... http://www.idiomconnection.com/money.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2011-11-19 12:00:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I drugi put! ;) |
