Fair share of something

In today's dialogue, the phrase "had her fair share of adversity" meant that the individual had experienced enough or more than enough of something bad. However, this experience is not always negative and can be followed by positive nouns such as adventure and success.

在今天的对话中，短语“had her fair share of adversity”意思是这个人已经经历了足够或更多的不幸。然而，这种经历并不总是消极的，它后面可以跟一些积极的名词，如冒险和成功。

In terms of usage, the phrase does have some flexibility. The word "fair" can be dropped and the verb "have" can be substituted with “experience,” “encounter” or “make.”

就用法而言，这个短语确实有一定的灵活性。单词“fair”可以省略，动词“have”可以替换为“experience”、“encounter”或“make”。

For example

1: He's certainly experienced more than his fair share of heartbreak.

他肯定经历了太多的心碎。

2: I've made my share of mistakes, but I've learned from them and changed.

我也犯过一些错误，但我从中吸取了教训并做出了改变。
