词汇背后的故事

罗马神话中，Portunus是港湾之神，由于海岸线漫长并且港口众多，所以当地人极为尊敬港湾之神。水手们把拉丁语opportunus作为一个航海术语，表示风朝着港湾的方向刮，所以是“风向有利的”，因此引申为“适宜的”，“合适的”这样更广泛的含义。opportune这个单词你看着还是陌生的话，想想opportunity n.机会这个单词吧！两个单词前半部分的拼写完全一致，同样包含了顺风顺水的事情才会有“机会”获得成功这样朴素的道理。

例句
The call came at an opportune moment for me.
这个电话对我来说来得正是时候。
In effect, both sought to keep the possibility open until the opportune moment.
实际上，双方都努力不把门关死，以等待合适的时机。
