"(Some people) born on third base but believes/thinks (one) hit a triple" nghĩa là ai đó đã sinh ra ở vạch đích nhưng lại tưởng mọi thứ mình có được là do nỗ lực. Trong bóng chày, "a triple" (loại cùng lúc 3 người) là khi batter đánh bóng và thành công chạy từ first base (được gọi là căn cứ), second base đến third base trước khi pitcher lấy được bóng. Do đó, cầu thủ được trao cho vị trí ở third base là một lợi thế vô cùng lớn, anh ta sẽ chả phải vất vả gì cũng ghi được điểm.
Ví dụ
The Irish, Italians and Jews all have people in their community who don’t identify with their heritage (di sản) or who think they’re better than others in their tribe (bộ tộc), when they’re really just better off. These are the folks who were born on third base but tell themselves they hit a triple.
Among the half-dozen people testifying (làm chứng) against the bill (dự luật) Wednesday was Rabbi Dan Fink of Boise. Fink, speaking on behalf of the Interfaith Alliance, said, “Folks, if you think we are in a place where we do not need affirmative (khẳng định) action, you were born on third base, and you think you hit a triple.”
Any governor (thống đốc) who gets away with bankruptcy (phá sản) will be committing political suicide. So, this virus is a perfect opportunity for Pritzker to get his cake and eat the whole thing, too. He’s worth $3.5 billion, what does he care if you lose your small business or job? The man was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.
