The Merriam-Webster dictionary says fate is a "power that is believed to control what happens in the future." In fact, fate is so powerful that people are warned not to tempt fate._____________________Here is a true story. While on vacation in Thailand I met a woman who tempted fate by swimming around a rocky coastline at night. We warned her that she would not make it. And she didn't. She floated in the ocean all night. A fishing boat rescued her the next morning. She was lucky. Her fate could have been much different.韦氏字典里说:"命运是一种能够控制未来发生什么事的力量.事实上,命运很强大,人们被警告不能去挑战命运."__________________________这是个真实的故事.在泰国度假的时候,我遇到一位女士,她在晚上一个多岩石的海岸线游泳来挑战命运.我们警告她不能这样做,但是她不听劝告.一整晚她都漂在大海里.第二天早上,一条渔船救了他.她很幸运,她的命运可能与别人不同.
