嘿，各位英文愛好者！今天我們要輕鬆學習一些關於機會和偶然的英文表達法，從 “take chances” 到“chance upon” ，讓你在生活中不僅勇敢冒險，還能隨時抓住那些意想不到的好機會。
-
take chances – 冒險，承擔風險 = take risks
-
Take chances and make mistakes. That’s how you grow.
（勇於嘗試，大膽犯錯。你就是這樣成長的 [諺語]。）Never take chances while driving, or you’ll be in big trouble.
（開車時千萬別冒險，否則就會闖大禍。） -
Hikers are advised not to take unnecessary risks when exploring dangerous trails.
（建議登山者在探索危險路線時不要冒不必要的風險。）Peter took unnecessary risks by putting all his savings into a high-risk stock.
（彼得把所有積蓄都投資在高風險股票上，這是一種不必要的冒險。） -
-
類似用法
1 ：與 “take chances” 相似的表達是 “take risks”，兩者都表示「承擔風險」，但 “take risks” 更強調風險本身，也較常出現在正式寫作中。而 “take chances” 則有「放手一搏」的感覺，通常帶有「搏一把看看」的心態。 -

-
Entrepreneurs often take risks when starting a business.
（創業者在創業時經常承擔風險。） -
David took a risk by quitting his job without another offer.
（大衛在沒有找到新工作的情況下辭職，這是一個冒險之舉。） -
2 ：另一個相似的表達是 “dare to do something”，這句話更強調「鼓起勇氣去做某事」，帶有個人意志的成分。此外，“go out on a limb” 則特指「為某個觀點或決定冒險」，例如： -
You have to dare to dream big.
（你必須敢於擁有遠大的夢想。） -
The lady went out on a limb and defended her unpopular opinion.
（這位女士挺身而出，為自己的冷門意見發聲。） -
