喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A death-defying act is so dangerous it looks as if someone is daring death itself — a wire-walk, a leap, a stunt with no net. Newspapers like the word; it is a little dramatic on purpose. It does not mean the person wants to die. It means the risk is huge. You almost always put it before a noun: a death-defying leap, death-defying stunts. People also stretch it, with a grin, for anything that feels wildly risky even when nobody would really die — a death-defying drive through city traffic.
