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 ˈmenəs [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违禁药品的威胁。◆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。
