Word on street

winner at life

人生赢家

(rénshēnɡ yínɡjiā)

A: When this guy was young he won the gold at the Olympics and married a beautiful woman. He also used a reality show to make his daughters famous. Now he underwent sex reassignment surgery to become a sexy woman.

这个人年轻的时候得过奥运冠军,迎娶白富美,用真人秀让女儿们都出了名,现在又去做了变性手术,要做一个性感的女人。

(zhèɡè rén niánqīnɡ de shíhòu déɡuò àoyùn ɡuànjūn, yínɡqǔ báifùměi, yònɡ zhēnrénxiù rànɡ nǚ'ér men dōu chū le mínɡ, xiànzài yòu qù zuòle biànxìnɡ shǒushù, yàozuò yíɡè xìnɡɡǎn de nǚrén.)

B: To be honest, looking at this type of person's life experiences I'm at a temporary loss for words. 

说实话,看着这样的人生经历,一时之间有点无言以对。

(shuō shíhuà, kànzhe zhèyànɡ de rénshēnɡ jīnɡlì, yìshí zhījiān yǒudiǎn wúyányǐduì.)

A: Well no matter what, she should be considered a winner at life.

但不管怎么说,她也算是个人生赢家。
