短释义：
Something fortuitous is random like an accident, but there’s no downside. A rock falling on your head is an accident, dollar bills falling on your head is fortuitous. The meaning of fortuitous is changing from “happening by chance” to “lucky chance” because people get it mixed up with fortunate. But watch out: If you say fortuitous to mean just plain lucky without the element of chance –– that’s a usage error.
偶然是指偶然，比如幸运的意外。如果您和您最好朋友的家人碰巧同时去同一个地方度假，那真是巧合！
长释义：
Something fortuitous is random like an accident, but there’s no downside. A rock falling on your head is an accident, dollar bills falling on your head is fortuitous. The meaning of fortuitous is changing from “happening by chance” to “lucky chance” because people get it mixed up with fortunate. But watch out: If you say fortuitous to mean just plain lucky without the element of chance –– that’s a usage error.
偶然的事情就像事故一样随机，但没有什么坏处。石头掉到你头上是意外，美元钞票掉到你头上是偶然。偶然的意思正在从“偶然发生”变成“幸运的机会”，因为人们把它与幸运混为一谈。但请注意：如果你说“偶然”意味着纯粹的幸运，而没有机会的因素——那就是一个用法错误。
