n.|occasion/chance/opening/room;時機,機會
opportunity(機會)指在特定時間窗口内出現的、有利于實現目标或獲得優勢的有利情境或可能性。其核心含義包含以下關鍵要素:
有利條件與時機結合
指在恰當的時間點出現的有利條件,使行動或決策可能帶來積極結果。例如,市場空白、政策變化或資源可及性都可能構成機會。牛津詞典将其定義為“a time when a particular situation makes it possible to do or achieve something”(當特定情境使某事可行或可達成時的時機)。
商業與個人發展中的關鍵資源
在商業領域,機會常指向未滿足的市場需求、技術創新或競争優勢窗口。劍橋詞典強調其作為“a chance to make progress or succeed in a specific領域”(在特定領域取得進展或成功的可能性),例如創業者識别新市場機會(劍橋詞典:business opportunity)。
主動性與準備的重要性
哲學家塞内加的名言“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”(當準備遇到機會時,運氣就發生了)指出,機會需通過主動準備才能轉化為成果。這一觀點被斯坦福哲學百科引用,強調主觀能動性與客觀條件的結合(Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)。
與近義詞的辨析
韋氏詞典指出,opportunity區别于被動等待的“運氣”,而是“a favorable juncture of circumstances”(有利情勢的交彙)(Merriam-Webster)。

核心定義:
opportunity 是一個名詞,表示“機會”或“時機”,指通過主動行動可實現的有利條件或恰當時刻,強調主觀能動性與潛在價值。例如:
This job offers a great opportunity for career advancement.(這份工作提供了絕佳的職業發展機會)
He had a golden opportunity to score but squandered it.(他本有一個絕佳的得分機會卻浪費了)
不可數性:
在抽象意義上為不可數名詞(如 much opportunity),但具體指代時可作可數名詞(如 an opportunity、many opportunities)。
詞彙 | 差異點 |
---|---|
opportunity | 強調需要主動抓住的有利機會,常用于正式或目标導向的語境(如職業、教育) |
chance | 側重偶然性或概率,更口語化(如 pure chance 純屬偶然) |
例:
She missed the opportunity to study abroad.(錯失主動争取的機會)
He got the job by chance.(偶然獲得,無需主觀努力)
The merger created numerous business opportunities.(合并創造商業機遇)
Studying abroad offers a unique opportunity to broaden horizons.(留學拓寬視野)
The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to rectify this.(綜合開支審查為政府提供糾正機會)
opportunity 是一個承載主觀能動性與社會價值的詞彙,既體現個體對有利時機的把握(如職業晉升、學習機會),也反映社會對平等與機遇的追求。其核心在于“主動識别并利用可能性”,與被動等待的“chance”形成鮮明對比。在學術、商業及日常交流中,正确使用該詞需注意語境、搭配及與近義詞的細微差異。
