a risk, danger or hazard is a possibility. threat is most often used in the phrase a threat to sth; the threat itself may be important ( a major threat to the fabric of society) or less important ( a real threat to the spanish player). a hazard is the possibility of physical harm, especially to sb's health or safety; it is a thing, not a person. a danger is the possibility of physical or moral harm ( a danger to health/society) and may be a thing or a person. risk is often used in a similar way to hazard, especially in compounds: a health/fire/safety risk, but has a wider range that includes the risk to national/personal security or a security risk, which may be a person, group, thing or activity. * threat 通常为一种可能性； risk、danger 和 hazard 的可能性要低些。threat 最常用在短语 a threat to sth 中；这种威胁从本质上来说可能很严重（如 a major threat to the fabric of society），也可能不那么严重（如 a real threat to the spanish player）。hazard 是对身体，尤其是对某人的健康或安全造成伤害的可能，是某种事物，而不是人。danger 是对身体或道义的危害（如 a danger to health/society），可能是某种事物，也可能是人。risk 的用法常与 hazard 相似，尤用于 a health/fire/safety risk 等复合词中，但 risk 比 hazard 有更多的句型和搭配用法，如 risk to national/personal security 或 security risk，risk 可能是某个人、某个团体、某种东西或某项活动。■ menace /menəs/ [countable, usually singular] a person or thing that people are afraid of because it causes or may cause harm or damage威胁；危险的人（或事物）◆the government's new initiative is aimed at beating the menace of illegal drugs.政府的新举措旨在打击非法毒品的威胁。◆the protesters remain a potential menace to the stability of the government.示威者仍然是对政府稳定的潜在威胁。threat [uncountable, countable, usually singular] the possibility that sth bad will happen because of the way that things are now凶兆；征兆◆these ancient woodlands are under threat from new road developments.新道路的建设可能对这些古老的林地造成破坏。◆there is a real threat of war.确有战争的征兆。 ➡ see also threat → threat , threaten → threaten 2 3 , threatening → threatening threat [countable, usually singular] a person or thing that is likely to cause damage, danger or trouble构成威胁的人；可能带来破坏（或危险、麻烦）的事物◆drug abuse poses a major threat to the fabric of our society.吸毒成为我们社会结构的一大威胁。◆he could be a real threat to the spanish player in the final.他会在决赛中对这名西班牙运动员构成很大的威胁。 ➡ see also threat → risk 1 threatnoun [countable, uncountable] ◆to make threats against sb对某人进行威胁◆she is prepared to carry out her threat to resign.她打算实施她的威胁，提出辞职。◆he received death threats from right-wing groups.他收到来自右翼团体的死亡威胁。◆crimes involving violence or the threat of violence涉及暴力或暴力威胁的犯罪threatnoun [countable, uncountable] ◆to make threats against sb对某人进行威胁◆she is prepared to carry out her threat to resign.她打算实施她的威胁，提出辞职。◆he received death threats from right-wing groups.他收到来自右翼团体的死亡威胁。◆crimes involving violence or the threat of violence涉及暴力或暴力威胁的犯罪threat/θret ||;
