Question

fortune n.命运；财产；运气 (1) 每个人都是自己命运的创造者。(2) 不良的婚姻是恶运的来源。(3) 他梦想发大财。(4) 这兄弟俩决定去美国碰碰运气。 Fortuna was the Roman goddess of fate and luck. She was sometimes depicted with a wheel, and the random spinning of her "wheel of fortune" became a symbol for the unpredictability of fate (and, much later, the title of a popular game show). A fortune teller can look into her crystal ball or tarot cards and predict your future. But her predictions are probably about as accurate as the "prophecy" that comes inside your fortune cookie.
