小天的週記

前幾天聽the BBC，裡面提到南非經常停電，如果剛好開到十字路口，

適逢停電的話，交通號誌也沒電，就很危險。

這時候主持人說"That's very dicey."

那時候我就想，dicey跟dangerous有何不同?

於是上網查，dicey是指有風險的。

後來也向英國朋友求證，他說:

"I'm not sure there is any difference between 'dicey' and 'dangerous',

except that 'dicey' is an informal expression. I looked in the Oxford

English Dictionary and it says that it was originally 'air force slang'.

It means dangerous as in risky."

希望這篇文章能幫助跟我一樣對於dicey還有dangerous差異很困惑的人，哈哈。
