与赌博相关的习语(下)

Any time we take a risk with money, we’re gambling. Whether it’s a card game, a horse race, or a game of dice, we bet money in the hopes of winning more. Business also involves taking risks with money, and for this reason gambling idioms have become very common in business. They are especially common in the world of investing. If you think about it, betting money on cards is a lot like making a high-risk investment.

无论什么时候我们总是花钱去冒险,我们一直在赌博。无论是纸牌游戏,骑马或是掷骰子,我们下注希望赢得更多的钱。经商也会用钱去冒险,正因为这个原因,有关赌博的习语在商业中使用得较为普遍。尤其是在投资行业。仔细想想,玩纸牌赌钱很像高风险投资。
