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”〔Hodges〕American jazz saxophonist who was a key player in the Duke Ellington Orchestra (1928-1951).霍奇斯，约翰·科尔内留斯：美国爵士乐萨克斯管演奏者，杜克·埃灵顿管弦乐团主要乐手〔quote〕The saxophonist quoted a Duke Ellington melody in his solo.萨克斯手在他的独奏中引用了一段杜克·爱灵顿的曲子〔mirepoix〕After Charles Pierre Gaston François de Lévis, Duc de Mirepoix (1699-1757), French diplomat 源自查理·皮埃尔·加斯通·弗朗索瓦·得·引维斯·杜克·德 米瑞保伊克斯 ，（1699-1757年）法国外交官 〔Duke〕American tobacco-industry leader who with his brotherJames Buchanan Duke (1856-1925) organized the American Tobacco Company (1890) and endowed Trinity College, which was renamed Duke University in their honor (1924). 杜克，本杰明·牛顿：(1855-1929) 美国烟草工业领袖，1890年与其弟杰姆士·布坎南·杜克 （1856-1925年）组建美国烟草公司并出资捐助三一学院，后为纪念他们，三一学院于1924年更名为杜克大学 |
