Focus Points

1. Key words & phrases

accordingly,definitive,exposure,fraction,inflate,miner,partial,physician,probability,ratio, riskiness,risky,roughly,symptom,versus,all manner of, end up, feed on, in question, on the strength of ,reduce to

2. Difficult sentences

1.At 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 take, and every food we eat－in other words, with every action.

6.The 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.

Language points

1.At 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. 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。

Example Having no money, I borrowed some from John. (Reason)

Walking along the bank, I met a friend. (Time)

Turning to the right, you will see the shop. (Condition)

2. But fear of disease is not our only fear, and neither is risk of disease the only risk we run.

Translation然而，对疾病的恐惧并非我们唯一的恐惧。同样，患病的危险也并非我们唯一会遇上的危险。

Explanation It is an inverted structure with an adverb put at the beginning of a sentence. 此句为倒装结构。

Example Never have they heard of such strange things.

Hardly could I believe my eyes when I entered the room.

3.And from these threats come questions that we must pose to ourselves: …Translation从而产生了好些问题，我们不得不问自己，······。

Explanation This sentence means that these threats give rise to questions that we must ask ourselves. 当句首状语为表示地点的介词词组，谓语动词为go，come等表示位

置转移的动作动词时，句子通常全部倒装。

Example From the room came the sound of children singing.

From the fountain bubbled a stream of cold water.

4. It is much more difficult when anxiety about other forms of risk is concerned, because with many risks, the situation is not as simple.

Translation 但当涉及到其它形式的风险时，事情就要困难得多，因为对许多风险来说，情况并不那么简单。

Explanation” when sth. is concerned”意为“就······来说，就······而言”，有时常用“as far as sth.

is concerned”来表示.

Example When we’re concerned, you can go whenever you want. 就我们而言，你什么时候走都行。

As far as policy is concerned, I have to say something. 谈到政策，我得说几句。5. 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?

Translation倘若你的车侧面被撞，结果你被困在车里，又因安全带装置遭破坏而无法挣脱，那怎么办呢？

Explanation “what if”相当于“what would happen if”，意为：“如果······那又怎么办呢？”

“…end up trapped”一句中trapped是过去分词表示伴随，词组“end up”

的意思是“最后成为（处于）”，后面可接名词（短语）、形容词、现在分词、过

去分词或介词短语作状语。

Example What if she changes her mind and doesn’t turn up? 如果她改变主意不来怎么办?

What if his mother doesn’t like the girl? 要是他妈妈不喜欢这个女孩该怎么办？

6. There are risks, often potentially serious one, associated with every hobby we have, every job we take, and every food we eat－in other words, with every action. Translation有些风险，常常是潜在的重大风险，与我们的每个业余爱好、所做的每项工作、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

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

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

Translation 答案是这样：在一起严重的车祸中，坐小车丧生的可能性是坐大车的两倍左右。Explanation表示倍数可以用“times+as+adj.+as”或者“times+ the… +of”。

Example The room is twice as big as that one.

The room is twice the size of that one.

8. 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.

Translation在刚才讨论的例子中，我们可以用每一项活动中死亡的人数除以参与该活动的总

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”。di vide... 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 (conj.) 一旦

Example Once the books are open, 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。

Once environmental damage is done, it takes many years for the system to recover

对环境一旦造成破坏，就要花很多年的时间才能使整个系统恢复。

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.
