as luck would have it

“I missed my connection in Frankfurt, and as luck would have it, the stranger at gate B12 turned out to be my future business partner.”

프랑크푸르트에서 환승편을 놓쳤는데, 공교롭게도 B12 게이트의 그 낯선 사람이 훗날 내 사업 파트너가 됐어.

我在法兰克福误了转机，而机缘巧合，B12登机口的那位陌生人后来成了我的生意伙伴。

“We booked the only sunny Saturday in May, and as luck would have it, the moving truck broke down two blocks from the old flat.”

5월의 유일하게 맑은 토요일을 예약했는데, 공교롭게도 이삿짐 트럭이 옛날 집에서 두 블록 떨어진 데서 퍼져 버렸어.

我们订下了五月唯一晴朗的周六，偏偏不巧，搬家卡车在离旧公寓两个街区的地方抛锚了。

“The sample was contaminated — ruined, we thought. As luck would have it, the contaminant was exactly the catalyst the reaction needed.”

샘플이 오염됐고, 우린 망쳤다고 생각했지. 그런데 공교롭게도 그 오염 물질이 정확히 그 반응에 필요한 촉매였던 거야.

样本被污染了——我们以为全毁了。谁知机缘巧合，那种污染物恰恰是反应所需的催化剂。
