auspicious
含义: Suggesting a positive and successful future; indicating favourable conditions or good fortune.
Auspicious describes beginnings, signs, or occasions that promise success. 'An auspicious start,' 'an auspicious occasion,' and 'auspicious circumstances' are standard collocations. The word is frequently used in journalism to describe political beginnings, business launches, and sporting debuts. Its opposite, 'inauspicious,' is also widely used. In many Asian cultures, the concept of auspiciousness is deeply embedded in tradition, making this word particularly common in cross-cultural reporting.
