Question

fate n.命运；宿命 (1) 我们是听任命运摆布的傀儡吗？(2) 她不知道以后等待她的将是什么命运。(3) 宿命就是等待月老吗？(4) 他们的命运其实是知识分子长久以来承受的宿命。 The word fate traces back to the Latin word fatum, meaning “that which has been spoken,” and something that's your fate is a done deal, not open to revision. If you feel like something is your fate, you feel it's beyond your control. Fate is often referred to directly, as if it were a supernatural power: “fate tore us apart."
