2.用作名词时，注意以下用法：
(1)要表示冒危险，通常与动词run,take等搭配。如：
why run the risk?为什么要冒这种危险？
there was so much to lose (that) we couldn’t take any risks.损失这么多，我们不能冒任何风险了。
(2)表示“……的危险”，其后通常不接不定式，而接of doing sth。如：
he dare not run [take] the risk of being caught by the police.他不敢冒被警察抓住的危险。
there’s not much risk of losing money if you bet on that horse.如果你押那匹马，输钱的`风险不太大。
比较run [take] the risk of doing sth与run [take] a risk in doing sth：前者指冒做某事的危险或风险，其中的of doing sth为修饰the risk的定语；后者指做某事有危险或冒风险，其中的in doing sth是状语，in有类似when的含义。如：
i took a risk in telling him the news at that moment.我那时把消息告诉他，那是冒了风险的。
(3)注意以下习语的用法：
①at risk 处境危险，在危险中。
how much at risk is the smoker?吸烟者的危险性有多大。
②at one’s own risk 对发生的事负责，自担风险。
persons swimming beyond this point do so at their own risk.游泳者超越此界限若有意外后果自负。
③at the risk of 冒……的危险。
