These are all words for things that happen or the force that causes them to happen.以上各词均指机遇、命运、运气。
the force that causes good or bad things to happen to people指机遇、命运、运气：

这戒指总是给我带来好运。
the way that some things happen without any cause that you can see or understand指偶然、碰巧、意外：

( rather formal ) luck or chance, especially in the way it affects people's lives尤指影响人生的机会、运气：

( formal ) God, or a force that some people believe controls our lives and the things that happen to us, usually in a way that protects us指上帝、苍天、天佑：
He trusted in divine providence.
他相信上苍。
Providence is usually seen as being kind: even when it sends suffering, this is accepted as being part of God's plan. Fate can be kind, but this is an unexpected gift; just as often, fate is cruel and makes people feel helpless. Destiny is more likely to give people a sense of power: people who have a strong sense of destiny usually believe that they are meant to be great or do great things. |
