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”〔tee〕They teed off the fundraising campaign with a dinner.他们开始了向用餐者募捐的运动〔say〕I say let's eat out.我宣布到外面去用餐〔menu〕The dishes served or available at a meal.菜肴：用餐时所供应或可点要的饭菜〔tablecloth〕A cloth to cover a table, especially during a meal.桌布：用来覆盖桌子的布，尤指在用餐时〔order〕A request made by a customer at a restaurant for a portion of food.点菜：顾客在餐厅用餐时提出上某一部分菜的请求〔dinner〕from Old French disner, diner [to dine, morning meal] * see dine 源自 古法语 disner, diner [用餐，早餐] * 参见 dine〔table〕The company of people assembled around a table, as for a meal.同席用餐的人：（因为用餐而）围聚在一张饭桌四周的一群人〔cohousing〕A living arrangement that combines private living quarters with common dining and activity areas in a community whose residents share in tasks such as childcare.住宅小区：社区中结合了私人的居住区与共同用餐和活动区的生活区域，其中的居民要分担任务，如照顾小孩〔buffet〕A meal at which guests serve themselves from various dishes displayed on a table or sideboard.自助餐：客人们自己动手选择放在桌上或餐具柜上的各种食物的用餐 |
