既然大家對fortunes 那麼有興趣 喜歡做筆記 那麼我也來做個fortunes的
英英解釋筆記 並提供給大家做參考看看
如果只看前六個字典解釋 你可以很清楚看出來fortunes 就是運勢, 命運, 運氣等的意思嗎?
如果你可以的話 那你就真的很利害 因為我很難光看前六個字典的解釋就可以直接連想到
它跟運勢或運氣有直接的關連
但看了後四個字典解釋就清楚多了
fortunes的意思倒是是啥呢? 答案就在下面10本字典的解釋中

※ 引述《tucson (tucson)》之銘言:
: 這句各位你們覺得fortunes怎麼翻比較好?
: 我把它暫譯成"進展' 但不知是否有更好的譯法?
: 多益官方手冊第一本第一回中
: OG 1 第196-200題的雙篇閱讀第一篇第三段
: Industry analysts remain skeptical that she can turn around
: the company's ailing fortunes.
: OG1的中文翻譯:
: 對於Brown 博士是否能重整Randolph 公司日益艱困的財務狀況,
: 業界分析師仍抱持懷疑的態度。
: 整篇原文是:
: Randolph Chemical announced earlier today the selection
: of Michelle Brown as its new chief executive officer. Willard
: Strong, Chairman of the Board of Randolph Chemical, said,
: "We are delighted to have found someone of Michelle's caliber
: to lead our organization."
: Michelle Brown brings to the table a reputation as a strict cost
: cutter. Prior to joining Randolph, Dr. brown was CEO of
: Popovich Materials, where she reduced expenses by almost
: a third in her four-year tenure. Dr. Brown has a bachelor's
: degree in chemistry from Wyler College and a Ph.D. in
: analytical chemistry from Porter University.
: Industry analysts remain skeptical that she can turn
: around the company's ailing fortunes. After her
: selection was announced, company stock
: dropped 1.2 percent in one afternoon.
: Randolph Chemical is a global technology-based
: company that manufactures and distributes plastics,
: chemicals, and agricultural products. Their search,
: which took eleven months, was conducted with the
: aid of Darren Consulting.
: OG1 把ailing fortunes翻成"益艱困的財務狀況"
: 我覺得怪怪的 因為根據OALD
: 這裡的fortunes有加s ,應該是比較像
: OALD 或Longman理面講到的另一解釋,
: 但這解釋中文怎麼翻比較好呢? Dr. eye
: 跟顏元叔的英漢字典都沒提這解釋
: 6. fortune [ ] n.[C][U] [常用複數] 進展 <暫譯>
: 此字在這裡的用法與英漢字典提供的解決似乎合不來
: 但英英字典倒是有提供較清楚的解釋且
: 翻成中文"進展"時似乎勉強可以
: 以下提供fortune在本句中的應該的英英解釋以供參考:
: 請參考OALD解釋:
: 3 [countable, usually plural, uncountable]
: the good and bad things that happen to a person, family, country, etc
: the changing fortunes of the film industry
: the fortunes of war
: a reversal of fortune(s)
: 請參考Longman解釋:
: 3. what happens to you
: [countable usually plural] the good or bad things that happen in life:
: a downturn in the company's fortunes
: This defeat marked a change in the team's fortunes.
: The geographical position of the frontier fluctuated
: with the fortunes of war (=the things that can happen during a war).
