We start tonight with a mystery feng shui master 風水大師 coming forward (coming forward 怎解？) to claim 聲稱 he’s the sole 單獨的;唯一的 inheritor 繼承人 of the $33-billion fortune left behind (behind 怎解和 left 形成解遺下？用這 adverb！) by Asia’s richest woman, Nina Wang.

更新1:

Wang’s lawyer says she left behind a will 遺囑 handing over 送交 her entire estate 財產,資產;遺產 to Chan Chun-chuen 陳振聰, and he has confidence he will be able to run her Chinachem Group 華懋集團.

更新2:

But Wang’s family is challenging his claim, and the stage is now set for (set for 怎解？) a lengthy 冗長的 legal 法律上的 battle 爭鬥 over her fortune 財產.

✔ 最佳答案

這裏的Good fortune的fortune是指財產或巨款，而good這裏是指非常（大）的意思，所以good fortune是指著巨大的財產
come forward是站出來，是一個phrasal verb
left behind也是一個phrasal verb，意思是遺下。（所謂phrasal verb就是一個動詞＋一個前置詞時／動詞＋副詞，就出現一個意思，甚至一個我們也估不到的意思，如：come around是甦醒之意，rule out有排除之意；至於為甚麼這樣組合就成了另一個意思，那只可以說，是外國人從歷史留下的慣用語）
set for是準備好的意思，如yahoo字典的例子：
6. 準備好的[F][(+for)][+to-v]
I was set for the exam.
我已為考試做好準備。

但若你在這段譯set for是做好準備的話，就不大順暢，不如譯一觸即發”一場為這筆財產的法律戰即將一觸即發”
