"Born under a lucky star" = sinh ra dưới ngôi sao may mắn -> người cực kỳ may mắn, vận may tốt. 

Ví dụ 
Even as a kid he was born under a lucky star. As a baby he opened the back door of the family car as it was moving and fell into the road – apparently (dường như) none the worse for the wear. 

Her father, Dr. David Griffin, was the first black physician (bác sĩ (nhất là người chuyên điều trị không phải dùng phẫu thuật)) and surgeon (bác sĩ phẫu thuật) in Glynn County. He delivered Elaine in the white section of the then-segregated (cách ly) Brunswick Memorial Hospital, making her the first African-American (người Mỹ gốc Phi) baby to be born across the color line at the hospital. “It’s almost like I was born under a lucky star,” she said. 

Well done Mr President; it is with gratitude (lòng biết ơn) that as a white man note the trouble to appoint (bổ nhiệm) a token white minister. Ms Creecy is no doubt a competent (tài giỏi) lady, with a flair (sự tinh, tài nhận thấy ngay (cái gì tốt, cái gì lợi)) for politics. But the Ministry of Fisheries (Bộ Thủy sản)? She must have been born under a "Lucky Star". I hope she stops the Chinese abalone criminals. - Peter Bachtis, Benoni.
