二、词义辨析:
chance,opportunity,occasion
这些名词均含“机会”之意。chance侧重指偶然或意外的机会,有时也指正常或好的机会。opportunity侧重指有利或适合于采取行动,以达到某一目的或实现某种愿望的最佳时机或机会。occasion指特殊时机或良机,也指时节。
三、词义辨析:
happen,occur,chance,take place
这些词语都可表示“发生”之意。happen普通用词,泛指一切客观事物或情况的发生,强调动作的偶然性。occur较正式用词,可指意外地发生,也可指意料中的发生。chance侧重事前无安排或无准备而发生的事,特指巧合。take place多指通过人为安排的发生。
四、词义辨析:
venture,chance,dare,hazard,risk
这些动词均含有“敢于冒险”之意。venture指冒风险试一试,或指有礼貌的反抗或反对。chance指碰运气、冒风险试试。dare可与venture换用,但语气较强,着重挑战或违抗。hazard主要指冒险作出某个选择,隐含碰运气意味。risk指不顾个人安危去干某事,侧重主动承担风险。
