occasion, chance, opportunity

这组词都有“机会”“机遇”“运气”的意思。其区别在于:

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。

Chance plays an important part in many card games.在很多纸牌游戏中,运气起着重要的作用。

The chances are ten to one that we will win.我们获胜的可能性是10比1。

☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的occasion；最初源自拉丁语的occasionem，意为掉在一起。
