核心句型:
Success is not gained through blind luck.
成功可不是靠运气得来的。
blind luck不同于good luck“好运”,表示不知到底会是什么结果,完全凭运气,即:“纯粹的运气,撞大运”的意思。因些,当美国人说"Success is not gained through blind luck."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"Success is not a matter of pure luck."、"Success doesn't come by luck only."、"The secret of success involves not only luck but also hard work."。
