[N-COUNT]A person's destiny is everything that happens to them during their life, including what will happen in the future, especially when it is considered to be controlled by someone or something else. We are masters of our own destiny.我们是自己命运的主人。其他形式
- 复数形式:destinies。例如:“Their destinies are intertwined.”(他们的命运交织在一起。)
- 形容词形式:destined,意为“注定的;命定的”。例如:“He was destined for greatness.”(他注定会成就伟大。)
同义词、近义词
- 同义词:fate。
- 近义词:fortune, lot, doom等。不过它们之间也有区别,“fate”较庄严,多指不幸的命运;“fortune”指由机会或运气决定的命运;“lot”指偶然的运气或终身遭受的不幸命运;“doom”指最终的、灾难性或毁灭性的命运。
反义词
“destiny”强调命运的必然性和预先注定,很难找到完全精准的反义词,相对来说,“chance(机会;偶然)”“choice(选择)”可在一定程度上表示与“destiny”相反的概念,强调事情的非注定性,而是由偶然因素或个人选择决定。
搭配用法
- 动词搭配:decide the destiny(决定命运);grasp the destiny(掌握命运);influence the destiny(左右命运)。
- 形容词搭配:adverse destiny(厄运);eternal destiny(永恒的命运)。
- 同根词:destination(目的地;终点),与“destiny”有一定的词源联系,都含有“确定的方向或结局”的意思。
