Fortuitous

　　What you think it means: Lucky.你以為單詞的含義是：幸運(yùn)的。What it really means: By chance.單詞的真正含義是：偶然碰巧。

　　There is a difference between luck and chance. Unfortunately, people use the two interchangeably, so much so that it’s difficult to explain the differences anymore. Lucky is an event that happens by chance that can be described as fortunate. Winning the lottery is lucky. Fortuitous means simply by chance. For instance if you drop your basketball and it bounces into the road and gets hit by a car, that’s a fortuitous instance. It’s neutral, so it can be good or bad things that happen by chance。運(yùn)氣和機(jī)會(huì)是有區(qū)別的�？墒侨藗兛偘阉鼈兘换ナ褂�，所以很難再去解釋其中的區(qū)別了。運(yùn)氣是偶然發(fā)生的一件事，可以視為“幸運(yùn)的”。中彩票是幸運(yùn)的。Fortuitous是指“純屬偶然”。舉個(gè)例子，假設(shè)你沒(méi)拿住籃球，結(jié)果籃球彈到路上擊中了一輛車(chē)，這就是fortuitous(純屬偶然)。這個(gè)單詞是中性的，既可以指偶然發(fā)生的好事，也可以指偶然發(fā)生的壞事。
