Jenny, Adam今天要说说“缘分”怎么用英语表达!
关键词:
“缘分”英语怎么说?
#1.Fate
Fate (名词): 命运、缘分
Fate brings people together no matter how far apart they maybe: 有缘千里来相会
It was fate that we met: 我们遇见,真的是缘分
Fateful (形容词)
On that fateful day, you walked into my life: 命运的安排,那一天你走入了我的生活
On that fateful day, I received a special phone call: 命运的安排,我收到了一个特别的电话
*Fate这个词,可以用来形容友情、爱情、际遇等各种范畴*
#2.Destiny
Destiny (名词): 命运、缘分
Destiny和fate的意思很像。但是用法上有些区别:
My fate is in your hands: 我的命运掌握在你手上 (判决、审判)
You're my destiny: 你是我命中注定的人 (浪漫)
This is my destiny: 这注定是我的命运 (人生、事业)
#3.Serendipity2
Serendipity (名词): 缘分,很多偶然、偶遇组成的缘分
Serendipitous3 (形容词)
这两个词有点难读。大家仔细听Adam读几遍:
Serendipity: /s?r?n'd?p?ti/
Serendipitous: /s?r?n'd?p?t?s/
Serendipity这个词更强调偶然性:
If you keep running into the same person in different places: 如果你一直在不同地方巧遇一个人,可以说:
It's so serendipitous! 我们真有缘、真巧!
这个用法不局限于浪漫的偶遇。
Serendipity was also the name of a romantic comedy: 多年前的一部浪漫喜剧,就叫“缘分天注定”
It's also the name of a diner in New York famous for its ice cream sundae and banana split: 纽约有一家著名的小餐馆也叫Serendipity,冰淇淋圣代和香蕉船特别有名
这部电影还在同名饭店取景呢!
缘来是你! 缘分用英语怎么说?
Jenny说几次去纽约,都想去这家饭店,可惜一直没缘分。没缘分去一个地方,英语怎么说?
You wouldn't use any of the words above: 不会用到上面说的这些词
The most common and natural expression is: 最常用、最自然的表达方法是
I didn't have the chance to go.
很口语吧!
但也可以用更抽象、浪漫的说法:
It wasn't in the stars
It wasn't in the cards
#4.Stars and the universe
英语也常用到宇宙、天象来描述缘分:
It was in the stars/it was written in the stars: 有缘、上天的安排
The universe is trying to tell you something: 宇宙在给你释放信息
The dipper:北斗星
#5.Karma
这个来自佛教的词也在英语里广泛使用:
Karma: 因缘、因果
还有一个更直观的表达:
What goes around comes around
不同场景的缘分
Love: 爱人间的缘分
We're destined to be together: 命中注定我们要在一起
It's fate: 这是命运的安排
Friendship: 朋友间的缘分
朋友间的缘份,不太用到上述说的fate, destiny这些词;
而是非常口语的:
We really clicked: 我们特别有缘、一见如故
We hit it off right away: 同上
We became quick friends: 同上
Things: 和东西、物件的缘分
我们平时买东西,大到房子,小到手表,好像也爱用缘分表达。英语可以说:
It's meant to be/it's meant for me:是你的总是你的
