Synonyms of "Risk" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between "take a risk of doing xx" and "run the risk of doing xx" ?
A:
hmmm... now that I think of it, “to take a risk” sounds a bit more active, like you’re moving out of your own volition and free will, that you are the one choosing to take up a challenge or risk. “To run a risk” sounds a bit more passive, and a bit like you are less in control (though this may not always be the case).
For example, you will sometimes hear people to urge their friends or colleagues, “come on! Take risks! Be daring!”
You will hardly hear them say “Come on! Run risks! Be daring!”
