    Fortunately, the school bus was only five minutes late.

    逐字幸運地,校車只晚了五分鐘。

    「fortunately」是句子副詞,常放在句首(後面常接逗號),意思是「幸好/運氣好」。它告訴聽的人:整件事因為運氣往好的方向走,或糟糕的結果沒有發生。跟 luckily 意思幾乎一樣;日常口語比較常說 luckily,fortunately 聽起來稍微正式一點、也常見於書寫。可以想成:把「呼——還好」輕輕放在整句前面。

core核心畫面

Picture the moment a story could have gone badly and didn't — the car stopped just in time, the rain held off, someone happened to be there. Fortunately is the speaker in to mark that turn: this next part is the lucky part, and the luck was not anybody's doing.

可以想成:故事本來可能往壞的方向去,結果沒有——車子剛好煞住了、雨剛好沒下、剛好有人在場。fortunately 就是說話的人插進來標一下:接下來這一段是走運的部分,而且這份運氣不是誰安排的。所以它常常出現在「差一點就……」的句子後面,把緊繃的氣氛放下來。
