CHOICE OF WORDS:

(1.) Русским прилагательным "удачливый, удачный, везучий" соответствуют английские прилагательные lucky и fortunate, различающиеся тем, что lucky обозначает везение, удачу, успешность независимо от других людей, находящихся в таком же положении, a fortunate подчеркивает сравнение с другими людьми, оказавшимися в таком же положении: we were lucky it didn't rain нам повезло, что не было дождя (не зависимо от других людей); the other car missed us by inches - we were lucky to be alive машина нас чуть не сбила нам повезло, что мы остались живы, ср. my brother managed to escape but the others were not so fortunate моему брату удалось спастись, но остальным не так повезло; you should think of those who are less fortunate than you подумайте о тех, кому не так везет как вам. (2.) See happy, adj
