問一題反義
Fortuitous
(A) unfortunate
(B) stupid
(C) designed
(D) fearful
(E) pious
Ans: (C)
----
Fortuitous第二定義就是Fortunate
那為什麼不能選(A)呢？
是最好要選第一定義的反義嗎？？
M-W:
Fortuitous
1 : occurring by chance
2 a : FORTUNATE, LUCKY <from a cost standpoint, the
company's timing is fortuitous -- Business Wee>
b : coming or happening by a lucky chance <belted down the stairs,
and there was a fortuitous train -- Doris Lessing>
synonyms see ACCIDENTAL
usage: Sense 2a has been influenced in meaning by fortunate.
It has been in standard if not elevated use for some 70 years, but is still
disdained by some critics. Sense 2b, a blend of 1 and 2a, is virtually
unnoticed by the critics. Sense 1 is the only sense commonly used in negative
constructions.
