1. 1

    Risk-taking is when people do things that might go badly, because they hope to gain something — money, a win, a new skill, a better life. A company may praise risk-taking; a parent may worry about it. You hear it a lot in business, sport, and school talks about trying new things. It can name the behaviour (her risk-taking paid off) or describe a person or style (a risk-taking driver).

    Risk-taking是 when people do things指人去做 that might go badly可能會出事的事,because因為 they hope to gain something他們希望得到某樣東西——money錢、a win一場勝利、a new skill一項新技能、a better life更好的生活。A company公司 may praise可能會稱讚 risk-taking冒險;a parent父母 may worry about it可能會為它擔心。You你 in business, sport, and school talks about trying new things會在商業、運動,和學校講嘗試新事物的演講裡 a lot常常 hear it聽到它。It它 can name可以指 the behaviour這種行為(her risk-taking paid off她的冒險有了回報),or describe也可以形容 a person or style一個人或一種風格(a risk-taking driver一個敢冒險的駕駛)。

    Though actually, it is not the same as being careless. Careless forgets the danger; risk-taking sees the danger and still goes, on purpose, for a result.

    Though actually不過其實,it它 as being careless跟粗心 is not the same不一樣。Careless粗心是 forgets the danger忘了危險;risk-taking是 sees the danger看見危險 and still goes卻仍然上,on purpose故意地,for a result為了一個結果。

    People stretch it in light talk: even ordering a new dish can be called risk-taking as a joke. In serious talk it stays closer to money, health, and big choices.

    People人們 in light talk在輕鬆的談話裡 stretch it會把它拉寬:even連 ordering a new dish點一道新菜 can as a joke也可以開玩笑地 be called risk-taking被叫做冒險。In serious talk在正經的談話裡,it它 to money, health, and big choices跟錢、健康和重大選擇 stays closer比較貼近。
