In one of his 3,000 or more letters, on which his literary reputation primarily rests,and specifically in a letter of January 28, 1754,Walpole says that "this discovery, indeed, is almost of that kind which I call Serendipity, a very expressive word.”Perhaps the word itself came to him by serendipity.Walpole formed the word on an old name for Sri Lanka,Serendip. He explained that this name was part of the title of "a silly fairy tale, calledThe Three Princes of Serendip : as their highnesses traveled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of . . . One of the most remarkable instances of thisaccidental sagacity ( for you must observe thatno discovery of a thing you are looking for, comes under this description) was of my Lord Shaftsbury [Anthony Ashley Cooper],who happening to dine at Lord Chancellor Clarendon's [Edward Hyde],found out the marriage of the Duke of York [later James II] and Mrs. Hyde [Anne Hyde, Clarendon's daughter], by the respect with which her mother [Frances Aylesbury Hyde] treated her at table.”我们非常感激英国作家霍勒斯·沃尔浦尔创造了单词serendipity。 他文学上的声誉主要依靠他的三千封或更多的信件中的一封，尤其是写于1754年一月二十八日的信中，沃尔浦尔说道“这一发现，实际上几乎是我称作意外发现珍奇事物的本领，一个非常有意味的词。”可能他得到这个单词也是靠意外发现珍奇事物的本领。沃尔浦尔创造这个词源自斯里兰卡的旧称Serendip 。 他解释说这个名字是“一个朴素的神话故事，称作The Three Princes of Serendip （斯里兰卡的三个王子）的童话”的名字的一部分： 当这些殿下旅行时，他们总是通过意外和精明地发现他们并没有寻求的东西…这种accidental sagacity（意外的聪慧） 的最著名的实例( 你必须注意到根据这种描述你没有 发现你 正在 寻找的东西） 是我的沙夫茨伯里老爷，偶然在钱塞勒·克拉伦登老爷处用餐时，发现了约克的杜克同海德夫人的婚事是根据她的母亲在吃饭款待她时发现的”〔boomerang〕To have the opposite effect from the one intended; backfire.自食其果：产生了与意图相反的结果；产生意外的后果〔overtake〕geopolitical strategists who were overtaken by events in the Middle East.在中东地区遭遇到很多意外的地理政治学战略家〔supervene〕To come or occur as something extraneous, additional, or unexpected.See Synonyms at follow 意外发生：作为非必要的、附加的或意外的事件而发生 参见 follow〔bond〕An insurance contract in which an agency guarantees payment to an employer in the event of unforeseen financial loss through the actions of an employee.保险单：一种保证合同，保险方保证一旦由于雇员的行动造成意外的经济损失，雇主将得到陪偿〔bathos〕An abrupt, unintended transition in style from the exalted to the commonplace, producing a ludicrous effect.突降法：一种突然的，意外的变化，在文体上从庄严崇高降至平庸可笑，能产生一种意想不到的效果〔accidental〕Occurring unexpectedly, unintentionally, or by chance.意外的，偶然发生的〔abrupt〕Unexpectedly sudden:意外的，突然的：〔backfire〕To produce an unexpected, undesired result.发生意外：产生意外的，令人失望的结果〔hit〕To become highly and unexpectedly successful, especially to win a great deal of money.大发横财：大的和意外的成功，尤指赢了一大笔钱〔mischance〕An unfortunate occurrence; a mishap.意外的不幸事件；倒霉事〔sleeper〕One that achieves unexpected recognition or success, as a racehorse, a movie, or a marketed product.意外震动，爆冷门：获得意外的声誉或成功的一样东西，如一匹赛马、一部影片或一种市场产品 |
