- 1低風險
If something is low-risk, it is likely to be safe, or at least not likely to go badly wrong. Doctors call a simple operation low-risk when serious problems are rare. Money people call an investment low-risk when you are not likely to lose a lot — though you also usually will not win a lot. Schools, travel, and hobbies get the same label: a low-risk activity is one where trouble is not expected. It sounds a little official; you meet it on forms and in the news more than in chat. Though actually, low-risk never means 'no risk at all'. It means the chance of harm is smaller than usual, not that nothing can happen.
low-risk 表示事情很可能安全,或至少不太會出大問題。醫生說一項簡單手術是低風險,指嚴重問題很少見;理財人士說一項投資是低風險,代表不太會虧大錢,但通常也不會賺大錢。學校、旅遊和嗜好也可以用同樣的標籤,例如 「a low-risk activity」,指大家預期不會出事的活動。
它聽起來有點正式,在表格和新聞中比聊天常見。要注意它不是完全沒有風險,只是傷害的機會比平常小,事情仍然有可能出錯。
組成low (small) + risk (the chance that something bad will happen).
