15.相比之下，每年只有大约300人死于矿山事故和灾难。 By contrast, only about 300 die per year in mine accidents and disasters. 16.我们评估一种风险时，所需要的有关数字是一个比率或分数。 The relevant figure that we need to assess a risk is a ratio or fraction. 17.所有的风险程度都是由比率或分数表示，其大小介于0（无风险）到1（完全风险）之间。 All risk levels are thus ratios or fractions, with values between 0 (no risk) and 1 (totally risky). 18.通过把所有风险都简化为这种比率或分数，我们便可以开始比较不同种类的风险, 如比较采矿与乘坐汽车。 By reducing all risks to ratios or fractions of this sort, we can begin to compare different sorts of risks---like mining versus riding in a car. 19.这个比率越大，也就是说它越接近1，那么有关活动的风险就越大。 The larger this ratio, that is, the closer it is to 1, the riskier the activity in question. 20.在刚才讨论的例子中，我们可以用每一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。 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. 21.其实后者的风险是前者的四倍。 the latter turns out to be four times riskier than the former. 22.这些比率使我们能够对毫不相干的活动或情形的危险性加以比较，即便差别如苹果与橘子那样大也能比较。 Those ratios enable us to compare the risks of activities or situations as different as apples and oranges. 23.如果你反对冒险，你就会选择风险比率较小的活动。 If you are opposed to risks, you will want to choose your activities by focusing on the small-ratio exposures. 24.如果你无所畏惧，那么你往往会对高比率不太在乎，除非它们大得令人难以承受。 If you are reckless, then you are not likely to be afraid of higher ratios unless they get uncomfortably large. 25.我们一旦明白了风险是永远无法从任何情况中完全去除的，因而就没有绝对安全的事，我们也就会明白问题的关键不是要彻底避免风险，而是要理智地管理风险。 we will then see that the issue is not one of avoiding risks altogether but rather one of managing risks in a sensible way. 26. 风险管理需要两大要素：常识以及与我们可能要承担的风险的性质和程度相关的信息。 Risk management requires two things: common sense and information about the character and degree of the risks we may be running. 1. De Vaca did the only ______thing by asking the Indians for food and shelter in their village. A. sensitive（敏感的） B. sensible (明智的) C. sentimental （感情用事）
