    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.

    If something is low-risk如果一件事是低風險的,it它 is likely to be safe很可能是安全的,or at least或至少 not likely to go badly wrong不太可能出大錯。when serious problems are rare當嚴重問題很少見時,Doctors醫生 call a simple operation會把一個簡單的手術稱作 low-risk低風險。when you are not likely to lose a lot當你不太可能虧很多時,Money people金融圈的人 call an investment會說一項投資 low-risk低風險——though不過 you also usually will not win a lot你通常也不會賺很多。Schools, travel, and hobbies學校、旅遊和嗜好 get the same label也用同一個標籤:a low-risk activity低風險的活動 is one where trouble is not expected就是預期不會出狀況的活動。

    It sounds a little official; you meet it on forms and in the news more than in chat.

    It它 sounds a little official聽起來有點官方;you你 than in chat比起聊天,on forms and in the news在表格上和新聞裡 meet it more更常遇到它。

    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.

    Though actually不過其實,low-risk never means從來不代表 'no risk at all'完全沒有風險。It means它的意思是 the chance of harm受害的機會 than usual比平常 is smaller更小,not that nothing can happen不是什麼事都不會發生。
