golden opportunity

opportunity, occasion, chance, break这组词的一般含义是“时机”或“机会”。不管在口语中或者在文学作品中，这几个都是常用的词。
opportunity表示某时机符合自己想干某事的意愿、目的、雄心甚至野心。比方：“伺机而动”，这“而动”即去做自己想去完成的事情，此语可译为wait for an opportunity to take action；“借此机会说几句话”，这“说几句话”即说明该时机符合自己想干某事的意愿， 此语可译为to avail oneself of the opportunity to say a few words.

occasion
含有opportunity所能表达的这样一层意思：某时机能激发或唤起某人的某种行为，如：在“必要时”一语中便包含着激发某行为的时刻，此语可译为When occasion demands…；“这不是哭泣的时候。”这句话可译为It's no occasion for crying。在to have no occasion todo…固定词组中，occasion之所以能够引申为reason或cause的含义，也是与occasion的上述基本词义有关的。
This sort of thing is usual on occasions like this.
这类事情在这种场合是常见的。
This is not an occasion for laughter.
这不是笑的时候。（指不适合于笑，或不是笑的场合。）
chance表示幸运或偶然的时机
Perhaps it is the desire for solitude or the chance of making an unexpected discovery that lures men down to the depths of the earth.
可能正是寻觅幽静的去处，或者找个猎奇的机会的欲望引诱着人们进入地球的深处。
No one discovers a rarity by chance.
侥幸发现一件珍品的人是没有的。
break作为时机解，一般要求修饰语，如：a good break, a bad break,即“走运”或“坏运气”。这个词的基本意思是：走运不能老走运，倒霉不能老倒霉，总有个break的

Could a Worm Take Over the Net in Minutes?
印尼新总统梅加瓦蒂7月23日正式宣誓就职，从而成为该国第五任总统。 有这样的新闻标题："Megawati takes over"。那么，"take over" 是什么意思呢？在这里，这个短语的意思是接任、接替，即梅加瓦蒂从前任总统瓦西德的手中接过大印，正式掌管印尼政权，"Megawati takes Indonesia over from Wahid（take something over from somebody）。如果将 "take over"两个单词合在一起则成了一个名词 "takeover", 意思是（通过收购股票而对某商业机构或公司）接管、接收。 将"take "和 "over"次序颠倒一下，成为 "overtake"则是动词"超车"的意思， 例如 "We can overtake the slow lorry on the corner."（我们可以在拐弯处超过那辆开得很慢得货车。）
