第315期:"真是太巧了"怎么用英文表达呢

英语课
coincidence n.巧合;一致;同时发生
The first known usage of the word is from c. 1605 with the meaning "exact correspondence in substance or nature" from the French coincidence, from coincider, from Medieval Latin coincidere.)
先来看它怎么来读:
英 [k??'?ns?d(?)ns] 美[ko'?ns?d?ns]
(发音小窍门:co&in之间有一个[w]的夹音,这样听起来会更自然哦!)
来说说这个单词的结构:
coin + cidence
coin就是硬币啦!
cid是一个词根,有落下,降临,发生的意义
如果这个单词对你来说有些难记,可以试想下一个硬币掉下来的时候正反面是同时正反面是同时落下的。
正如它的英文解释一样:
the occurrence of events that happen at the same time by accident but seem to have some connection(看似有些关联的事情同时发生)
比如下面的句子:
You went to the same school as I did. What a coincidence!
我们上同一所学校.真巧!
听力测试:
To me,it just seemed like an amazing coincidence.
对我而言,这只是一场奇妙的巧合。
