次の英文(A)と(B)を読み、それぞれの下線部の意味を日本語で表しなさい。
(A) The dictionary tells us that luck is the favorable or unfavorable occurence of a chance event that could not have been foreseen. Of course, w don't need a dictionary to define luck for us: it is of the critical aspects of our lives. You don't have to be a gambler or a fortune-teller to believe in luck. Even people who consider themselves completely rational and who immediately dismiss superstition will still say "good luck" every now and again; perhaps they assume that the other party believes in luck, even if they don't believe in it themselves. But believe in it or not, luck is unavoidable.
(B) Most living cells seldom last more than a month or so, but there are some notable exceptions. Liver cells can survive for years, though the components within them may be renewed every few days. Brain cells last as long as you do. You are given a hundred billion or so at birth and that is all you are ever going to get. It has been estimated that you lose five hundred brain cells an hour, so if you have any serious thinking to do there really isn't a moment to waste. The good news is that the individudal components of your brain cells are constantly renewed so that no part of them is actually likely to be more than about a month old. Indeed, it has been suggested that there isn't a single bit of any of us that was part of us nine years ago. It may not feel like it, but at the cellular level we are all youngsters.
