born with a silver spoon in his mouth. narodil se do bohaté rodiny

Explanation:
To je tedy význam tohoto idiomu, ale existuje spousta variant - odmalička rozmazlovaný, neznající nic než blahobyt... Ale bohatá rodina to asi pokrývá všechno.

5 hrs confidence:

born with a silver spoon in his mouth. hýčkaný potomek nejvyšší vrstvy

Explanation:
Jde o velmi běžný idiom, proto bych nepřekládal doslovně ani to "born." Nejde primárně o to, v jakých poměrech se dotyčný narodil/a, ale v jakých vyrostl. Velmi často tento idiom označuje aristokracii nebo potomka linie velmi bohatého rodu. Řídil bych se kontextem a volil nějaký běžný český obrat odpovídající celkovému smyslu, např. "pochází z velmi bohaté rodiny," "pochází z vyšší kasty," "aristokrat rodem i výchovou," "měl/a velmi zámožné rodiče," "vyrostl/a v naprostém blahobytu," "od mládí žil/a v blahobytu," "v životě nepoznal/a nic jiného než blahobyt" apod.

born with a silver spoon in his mouth. (ne)narodit se se stříbrnou lžičkou v puse*

Explanation:
Anglicke uslovi, znamenajici, ze se nekdo narodil v bohate a vlivne rodine
V tomhle pripade bych to definitivene udelal takhle z hvezdickou, at se ctenar pouci. Tady to podle kontextu sedne jeste lepe nez to prevypraveni do cestiny
