What would you think if you were talking with an American, and she said: a heart of gold. Is she rich? Is she famous? Is her heart made of gold? Let's listen to see whether we can find out.

Heart of Gold

有一颗金子般的心，心地非常善良

A: Who helped you clean up after the big party the other night?

B: Bob did. And he drove two other guests home.

A: Wow! That was really nice. Bob definitely has a heart of gold.

It sounds like Bob did something very nice. People who have a "heart of gold" are kind and caring. Gold is very valuable. And if you have a heart of gold, your actions have great value, too. This is a nice way to praise someone.
