胜负早有伏笔（成败早见端倪）

Generating writing options

I’m considering how to provide options for the user. I could explain the meaning of a phrase, use it as an article title, generate a continuation, analyze its rhetorical implications, or even write code to find examples. I could suggest using different writing forms, like commentary or sports analysis. I should number the suggestions so the user can easily respond. Let's aim for 4-6 concise bullet points that cover various options, ideally 5.Offering translation options

Since the phrase is Chinese, I can provide translations. For instance, "The die was cast long ago" isn’t an exact match, but "The seeds of victory and defeat were sown long ago" fits better. I could write a couple of short paragraphs—maybe a micro-essay, a sports recap, or a wuxia style segment. To keep it concise, I’ll add a brief explanation and then give the user 5 options to choose from, using simple bullet points.Generating translation options

I’m thinking about how to provide a very brief interpretation of the Chinese phrase alongside English translations. I’ll ask the user what they’d like—options could include translation, title expansion, copywriting, a sports recap, a literary paragraph, or a product postmortem opening. I’ll number these choices from 1 to 6 for clarity. It might be nice to include a short sample line to illustrate tone, but I want to keep it brief. I'll start with a 1-2 sentence explanation, followed by the options.
