nciku Note

遇到, 遇见 and 碰见

这三个短语都是动补式,表示偶然与某人相逢或偶然遭遇某事物。“碰见”更为口语化。
All three are verb-complement phrases meaning “to come across a person or thing by chance." Of the three, 碰见is the most casual.
(1)我在电梯里遇到(遇见/碰见)了她。
(2)你以后遇见(碰见/遇见)这种事,要学机灵点。
宾语可以是“机会”、“机遇”、“危险”、“风险”、“挑战”、“运气”等等,“遇到”的搭配能力较强。另外两个词有时候也可以这样搭配。
If the object is 机会,机遇,危险,风险,挑战,运气,etc., then 遇到 is the best choice. However, sometimes the other two will also do.
(3)遇到困难的时候,你应该有面对困难的勇气。
(4)他们的船在海上遇到了危险。
