We so often use the term ‘risk’ of an event in both common language and technical articles that its meaning in any given context can be vague and misunderstood. The issue becomes even more complicated when we compare risks across groups or contrast different conditions for a single group, in part because there are multiple ways of quantifying the difference—or lack thereof—between two risks.
我们在日常用语和专业文章中经常使用“事件风险”这一术语，以至于其在任何特定语境中的含义都可能模糊不清且容易被误解。当我们比较不同群体的风险或对比单个群体的不同情况时，问题会变得更加复杂，部分原因是存在多种量化两种风险之间差异（或不存在差异）的方法。
