Built for this
Significado: Naturally suited for a task or situation, as if designed specifically for it.
Telling someone they're 'built for this' is saying they have exactly the right qualities for a challenge. It implies natural ability and destiny — this is what they were made to do. Common in sports pep talks but extends to any situation where someone's qualities match the moment.
Ejemplos

- She handled that crisis like she was built for it. 她处理那场危机时,就像天生就是干这个的。Gestionó esa crisis como si hubiese nacido para ello.彼女はあの危機を、まるでそのために生まれてきたかのように乗り越えた。그녀는 마치 그것을 위해 태어난 것처럼 그 위기를 넘겼다.
- Cold weather camping? He's built for this. Grew up in Alaska. 在寒冷天气露营?他就是干这个的料。在阿拉斯加长大的。¿Acampar con frío extremo? Él está hecho para esto. Se crió en Alaska.寒冷地キャンプ?あいつにはお手の物だよ。アラスカ育ちだから。극한 추위 캠핑? 걔한테는 식은 죽 먹기야. 알래스카에서 자랐거든.
