2. Difficult
sentences
some time or other, all of us have
played the part of a hypochondriac, imagining that
we have
some terrible disease on the strength
of very minor symptoms.
2. But fear of
disease is not our only fear, and neither is risk
of disease the only risk we run.
3. It is
much more difficult when anxiety about other forms
of risk is concerned, because with many
risks, the situation is not as simple..
4.
But what if you get hit from the side and end up
trapped inside the vehicle, unable to escape
because of a damaged seat belt mechanism?.
5. There are risks, often potentially serious
one, associated with every hobby we have, every
job we

answer is that you
are roughly twice as likely to die in a serious
crash in a small car than in a
large one.

7. In the case just
discussed, we would find the relative safety of
car travel and coal mining by
dividing the
numbers of lives lost in each by the number of
people participating in each.
8. Once we
understand that risk can never be totally
eliminated from any situation and that, therefore,
nothing is completely safe, we will then see
that the issue is not one of avoiding risks
altogether but
rather one of managing risks in
a sensible way.

have played the part of a hypochondriac, imagining
that we have some terrible disease on the
strength of very minor symptoms.
Translation
在说不定的某个时候，我们大家都曾充当过疑病症患者的角色，只凭一些轻微的
症状便怀疑自己得了某种可怕的病。
Explanation “imagining that…
very minor symptoms. ” 为现在分词短语，在句中作状语，对
主句作进一步解释。

strange things.
Hardly could I
believe my eyes when I entered the room.
3.

to say something. 谈到政策，我得说几句。

那怎么办呢？
Explanation “what

所吃的每种食物有关，换句话说，与所进行的任何活动有关。
Explanation 句中“… often potentially serious
one”是插入语，其作用是作进一步解释或说明。
此处是说明risks。 “be associated with”意思为“be related
to”。“every hobby we

job we take”和 “every food we eat”都是with的宾语。

that one.

of that one.

lost in each by the number of people
participating in each.

7
人数，从而找出汽车旅行与采煤的相对安全性。
Explanation这是一个简单句，主干结构为“we would find the
relative safety”。of引起的介词
短语作定语修饰前面的名词“relative safety”，“by dividing... in
each”是句子的方
式状语，句首的“In the case
just discussed”为状语，意思是“在刚刚讨论的情况
中”。结尾中出现了两个each都指的是“each
activity”，“每一项活动”。divide... by…
用······去除······
Example If you divide 30 by 6,
the answer is 5.
以6除30，答案为5。
Thirty divided by six is five.
30除以6等于5。
9. Once we understand that risk can
never be totally eliminated from any situation and
that, therefore, nothing is completely safe,
we will then see that the issue is not one of
avoiding risks altogether but rather one of
managing risks in a sensible way.
Translation
一旦我们懂得在任何情况下都不能完全排除危险，因而任何事情都不是绝对安全
的，我们就会明白问题不在于彻底避免危险而在于如何理智地管理危险。
Explanation本句是一个主从复合句，once引导的从句中，谓语
understand后有两个由that
引导的并列宾语从句，主句“we will then see... way”中，动词see也带了一个
由that引导的宾语从句，从句的主要结构为“the issue is
not... but rather...” 。
once

phone calls go unanswered, TV unwatched and
newspapers unread. 一旦打开书本学习，就不接电话、不看电视、不读报纸了。

Ⅲ.Organization
Part I(Para. 1-3)
Risks are always a matter of probability
rather than certainty.
Part II(Para. 4-7)
Nothing we do is completely safe. The point is
to decide the risk level and then act
accordingly.
Part III(Para. 8)
Managing risks with common sense and
information about risk level.
Summary
This text mainly deals with the risks in our daily
life. The author thinks that risks are almost
always a matter of probability rather than
certainty and nothing we do is completely safe.
The
author makes a comparison between
hypochondria and anxiety about the risks of life.
He
explains how to measure the risk level of
activities by means of ratio or faction. At last,
he
draws a conclusion that the problem is not
to avoid risks but to manage them in a sensible
way by using our common sense and information
about the character and degree of the risks

we may be running.
