- 1預言
A prophecy is a statement about something that will happen in the future, especially one made by someone believed to have special insight — a religious figure, a fortune , or an old legend. Prophecies are often mysterious or symbolic rather than perfectly clear, which is part of why people argue about what they really mean. A 'self-fulfilling prophecy' is a common related idea: a prediction that comes true partly because people believed it and acted in ways that made it happen.
From the word’s history
From Old French prophetie, from Latin prophētīa, from Ancient Greek prophēteía, from pro 'before' + phēmí 'to tell'.
源自希臘文 prophēteía，由 pro「在前」加 phēmí「說」組成。
組成From Greek 'pro-' (before) + 'phanai' (to speak) — to 'speak before' something happens.
