同義詞
  • most fortunate

    more formal than luckiest; suggests a serious or life-changing outcome rather than everyday good luck

    very informal and non-standard; 'most blessed' is the conventional form. Rarely used in writing.

  • most favored

    suggests someone was deliberately chosen by fate or a higher power, not just random luck

反義詞
  • unluckiest

    the direct opposite — having the worst things happen by chance

  • most unfortunate

    more formal and broader than unluckiest; covers both chance and circumstance

文法句型

the + luckiest + noun

be the luckiest + to-infinitive

be the luckiest + that-clause

用法筆記

Frequently used with the definite article 'the' before it, either attributively (the luckiest person) or predicatively (she is the luckiest). The sense typically compares one person against a group.

常見錯誤

He is the luckiest person since he won the lottery.
He is the luckiest person because he won the lottery.
💡'since' can mean 'because', but learners often confuse it with time meaning; use 'because' for clarity.
I am luckiest person in the world.
I am the luckiest person in the world.
💡the superlative form almost always requires the definite article 'the'.

釋義

最吉祥的

比其他物品更能帶來好運的

used to say that an object, piece of clothing, or symbol brings more good fortune than other similar items — for example, a charm carried to exams, a shirt worn during games, or a coin kept in a wallet

例句

Daichi called the worn silver coin his luckiest charm and took it to every exam.

Daichi 稱那枚磨損的銀幣是他最吉祥的護身符,每次考試都帶著它。

Meera wore her red silk dress to every interview and called it her luckiest outfit.

Meera 每次面試都穿著那件紅色絲質洋裝,稱它為自己最吉祥的衣服。

the + luckiest + noun (outfit)

同義詞
  • most charmed

    suggests the object itself is magical or enchanted; more fanciful than luckiest

  • most auspicious

    formal and literary; describes omens or signs rather than everyday objects

  • most propitious

    very formal; describes a favorable time or sign, not an object carried around

反義詞
  • most unlucky

    the opposite — bringing bad luck instead of good

  • jinxedest

    informal; describes an object that consistently brings bad results

文法句型

the + luckiest + noun

用法筆記

Almost always attributive — placed before a noun (a lucky charm, the luckiest coin). This sense does not normally appear in predicative position when describing a person (*she is lucky today = she has good luck, NOT she brings luck).

常見錯誤

This is the luckiest rabbit foot.
This is the luckiest rabbit's foot.
💡the possessive form is required for items like 'rabbit's foot' or 'lady's slipper'.

3. used to describe an event, coincidence, or situation that happens more by chance

3.形容詞B2
釋義

最偶然的

純靠運氣而非計畫發生的

used to describe an event, coincidence, or situation that happens more by chance than others — without anyone planning or expecting it, and usually with a positive outcome

例句

Tamar called their meeting at the train station the luckiest coincidence of her life.

Tamar 說她在火車站與對方的相遇是她一生中最偶然的巧合。

the + luckiest + noun (coincidence)

Pim 職涯中最偶然的轉機,來自一位主管讀了他的部落格文章。

同義詞
  • most fortuitous

    more formal; describes events that happen by chance with a good result

  • most serendipitous

    formal and literary; suggests the chance event led to something delightful or valuable

  • most coincidental

    neutral; focuses on the unlikely timing or alignment, not necessarily the positive outcome

反義詞
  • most deliberate

    the opposite — planned intentionally, not happening by chance

  • most predictable

    describes events that were expected, the opposite of a lucky surprise

文法句型

the + luckiest + noun (event/accident/coincidence)

用法筆記

Distinguish from sense 1: sense 3 describes the event itself (a lucky coincidence), not the person who benefits from it. This sense is almost always attributive and pairs with abstract nouns like coincidence, break, accident, stroke, chance, guess.

常見錯誤

That was a luckiest guess.
That was a lucky guess.
💡the plain adjective, not the superlative, is correct when you are not making a comparison among several guesses.
