( 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：

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. |
