| 诸事不顺 | nothing goes right | |
| 命中注定 | decreed by fate | |
| 臆造 | to fabricate | |
| 飘渺 | dimly discernibley | |
| 胡编乱造 | to fabricate a story | |
| 占卜 | to practice fortune-telling | |
| 混水摸鱼 | to fish in troubled waters | |
| 无依无据 | completely groundless | |
| 冥冥之中 | in the unseen world | |
| 双管齐下 | to use two approaches to a goal |
