问题 Do you believe that a fate befalls somebody sometimes?
选项
答案Suggested answers: a．Yes. Life is ruled by chance. No one knows what the fate of his future will be. Bad luck may befall at anytime. Something bad may be a blessing in disguise. Fate plays cruel tricks sometimes, but one should not resign himself to his fate. b．I believe that a fate befalls somebody sometimes. A friend of mine is a man of many talents, but never keeps up with the times. He never got as far as his peer did. He was too young to a senior manager when seniority was important and his company was run by a group of octogenarians. And, then when the company focused on cultivating young and middle-aged staff, he was considered too old. c．A mediocre official, on the other hand, was always the right age at the right time, and that is how he got promoted. When his province needed a forty-something mayor, he was in his 40s. When the province needed a vice-governor in his 50s, again, he was in the right age bracket.
解析 fate命运，天命。mediocre平庸的，普普通通的。 octogenarian 80～89岁的人，耄耋之年。resign oneself to his fate听任命运的摆布，听天由命。befall降临于。
