1、机会；时机I have been offered a job. It's a great opportunity.我找到了一份工作，这是一个很好的机会。I'll have another opportunity to visit the exhibition next year.明年我们还有一次机会参观这个展览会。Opportunity makes the thief.(谚)疏忽招盗贼。2、opportunity表示某时机符合自己想干某事的意愿、目的、雄心甚至野心。比方：“伺机而动”，这“而动”即去做自己想去完成的事情，此语可译为wait for an opportunity to take action；“借此机会说几句话”，这“说几句话”即说明该时机符合自己想干某事的意愿， 此语可译为to avail oneself of the opportunity to say a few words.Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures,but few of us have had the opportunity to find out.或许这两种想象中都有一定的真实成分，但是我们中很少有人有机会去发现它。A man without an education,many of us believe,is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twenty-century opportunities.我们许多人都相信，没有受过教育的人是境况不佳的不幸牺牲品，他们被剥夺了20世纪最了不起的机会之一。
