“Kismet” 是一个外来语词根。
在西方文学中，“kismet” 经常出现在充满异域情调或浪漫主义的作品中。它描绘的是一种对生命中偶然发生的重大转折的宿命论解释。

发音类似于 “kiss met”。想象一对恋人的相遇（met）是因为命运的吻（kiss）。
“They had grown up in different countries and spoke different languages. But by some mysterious kismet, they both ended up on the same train in Switzerland. A simple conversation about a book led to a lifelong friendship, a connection so deep that neither of them could ever believe it was anything other than fate.” (他们在不同的国家长大，说着不同的语言。但出于某种神秘的命运，他们最终都坐上了瑞士的同一列火车。关于一本书的简单对话引发了一段终生的友谊，这种联系如此之深，以至于他们都不敢相信这不是命运的安排。)
