adventure, venture
这两个词都有“冒险”或“冒险活动”的意思。它们的区别在于：adventure强调惊险性,一般指在危险中激动人心的经历; venture强调冒险性,常指“冒险活动”,尤指那些为赢利而投资的冒险事业或投机活动。另外, adventure多含有有惊无险的意味,而venture则成败难以预测。例如：
He had a singular adventure.他有过一次奇特的冒险经历。
A bold venture is often successful.大胆的投机活动往往会成功。
下列两句的意思相同：
It was an adventure to visit that place.
It was an adventure visiting that place.
访问那地方是一次冒险经历。
