VOCABULARIO: BUENA SUERTE (good luck)

ENCONTRAR UN TRÉBOL DE 4 HOJAS ES SEÑAL BUENA SUERTE. Esta superstición es antiquísima, se cita ya en la Biblia. La buena suerte puede deberse, tal vez, a que  posibilidad de encontrar uno es remota. Hay un trébol de 4 hojas por cada 10 000 de tres.

FINDING A FOUR LEAF CLOVER OR A SHAMROCK IS A SIGN OF GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FORTUNE. This superstition is very old, there is one mention of the 4 leaf clover in the Bible. The chance of finding one, however, is remote as there is one 4 leaf clover for every 10 000 clover, may be that explain why finding one means 'to have good luck'.
