普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导

Just after Philip had taken Potidaea, he received these three messages at one time, that Parmenio had overthrown the Illyrians in a great battle, that his race-horse had won the course at the Olympic games, and that his wife had given birth to Alexander; with which being naturally well pleased, as an addition to his satisfaction, he was assured by the diviners that a son, whose birth was accompanied with three such successes, could not fail of being invincible.

白话

腓力刚攻下波提狄亚,同时收到三个消息:帕曼纽在一场大战中击溃伊利里亚人,他的赛马在奥运会上夺冠,妻子生下亚历山大。他自然高兴,而占卜师更让他安心,说一个孩子出生时伴随三件喜事,必定不可战胜。这说明:人们常把巧合解读为吉兆,以增强信心;但真正的成功还需后续培养和努力,不能只靠预兆。

上下文

普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》中亚历山大大帝出生时的轶事,反映古人对征兆的信仰。

今日一问

你是否曾把巧合当作好运的预兆?后来结果如何?
