  • occasion, chance, opportunity
  • 这组词都有“机会”“机遇”“运气”的意思。它们的区别在于:
    1.chance常与opportunity互换使用,但occasion常指一般性的机会,而opportunity则多指特殊的机会。
    2.chance含有侥幸的意味,而opportunity则含有期待的意味。chance常表示可能性,而opportunity则无此义。例如:
    I had no chance〔opportunity〕 to see him.我没有机会见到他。
    They had no chance〔opportunity〕 to escape.他们没有逃跑的机会。
    He has few occasions to speak English.他很少有机会讲英语。
    I never miss a chance〔an opportunity〕 of playing football.我从不放弃踢足球的机会。

    The chances are ten to one that we will win.我们获胜的可能性是10比1。
  • chance，opportunity，occasion
  • 这些名词都含“机会”之意。
    chance侧重指偶然或意外的机会，有时也指正常或好的机会。
    opportunity侧重指有利或适合于采取行动，以达到某一目的或实现某种愿望的最佳时机或机会。
    occasion指特殊时机或良机，也指时节。
