我母亲执意给我取名叫霍勒斯。
霍勒斯在他的书信中问道：“如果希腊人也像我们这样鄙视新奇事物，那么古代的作品现在还会存在吗？”
"Had the Greeks held novelty in such disdain as we," asked Horace in his epistle, "what work of ancient date would now exist?"
“Serendipity”这个词，是在1854年由霍勒斯·沃波尔在一封信中创造的，这个词源于一个关于三个王子的故事，他们“总是意外地发现那些他们无意寻找的东西”。
The word "serendipity" was coined by Horace Walpole in an 1854 letter, from a tale of three princes who "were always making discoveries, by accident, of things they were not in search of".
