 　　早上起床，没有什么比一段超级能量的音乐更加让人清醒了。Coldplay 的Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall 就给我一种浑身过电，奔跑中兴奋地追逐的晨光的狂喜。欢快的节奏和带感的贝斯，还有马汀独特的鼻音超重的唱腔，不信你们听：

　　And all the kids they dance all the kids dance all night

　　孩子们啊不知疲倦的通宵跳着舞

　　Until Monday morning feels another life

　　I turn the music up

　　I'm on a roll this time

　　我这次鸿运当头

　　And heaven is in sight

　　天堂触手可及

　　Origin

　　The phrase dates back to the time when gambling¹ was a common occurrence. When someone kept rolling the dice² it meant that they were winning. It is derived³ from the idea when something starts rolling, it will continue to do so if there is no outside force that stops it. The phrase was used to describe a prolonged winning streak⁴.

　　这个短语可以追溯到赌博普遍存在的时期。当有人持续掷骰子时，就意味着他们赢了。这个短语取自于如果某物没有外界干涉，一直转动的状态。这个短语被用来形容长时间的连胜。

　　on a roll: having a long period of success or good fortune

　　运气好；超常发挥；做得很顺

　　Example Sentences

　　Our team has won eleven out of twelve matches this season. We are on a roll.
