fatalism (n.)

命运主义是一种哲学学说，认为所有事情都由命运决定，起源于1670年代，由 fatal 和 -ism 组成。意思是“接受所有条件和事件不可避免的倾向”，始于1734年。

Fatalism is a doctrine which does not recognize the determination of all events by causes, in the ordinary sense; holding, on the contrary, that a certain foreordained result will come about, no matter what may be done to prevent it. Fatalism is thus directly opposed to necessitarianism, according to which every event is determined by the events which immediately precede it in a mechanical way. [Century Dictionary]

Fatalism 是一种学说，不承认所有事件都由普通意义下的原因决定； 相反，它认为某种预定的结果将会发生，无论采取什么措施都无法阻止。因此， Fatalism 直接与 necessitarianism 相对立，后者认为每个事件都是由机械方式直接前导事件决定的。[世纪词典]
