答案

Adventure和venture
Venture无论写法或意思和adventure都很相近,两词都有danger(危险)和risk(冒险)的含意,此外也有going somewhere和progressing(前进)的意思,所以很多词典把这两词都解作[冒险],然而venture和adventure无论解释和用法都有分别.
Adventure应解作[历险],就像参加原始森林的旅程,是完全没有想象过,或不能想象会遇到的事情；例：
We had quite an adventure when we were on holiday in Europe.We got lost on the Alps（我们在欧洲旅行时遭遇了一次历险.我们在阿尔卑斯山上迷途）!
Adventure的意思如上例所述的,一定是exciting(刺激)和unusual(不寻常)的,有时甚至会是[明知山有虎,偏向虎山行]式的冒险.相反,venture是经过深思熟虑才进行的,虽然未必能预测每一步,可是绝不像adventure般单凭胆色和热诚去盲闯.Venture这词常用于商业活动,如business venture指开拓新的业务范围；例：
"I heard you were involved in some sort of business venture in the Philippines."
"Yes,we opened a small recording studio in Manila.It turned out to be a winner-- far better than we expected."
([听说你在菲律宾开展了新的生意.][是的,我们在马尼拉开了一间小型录音室,生意极佳,远远超出我们的预期.]
Business venture指的可以是新的市场或行业,只要是从未接触过的都算是新的业务,而在新业务里所需要的正是a spirit of adventure (冒险精神).
