venture和adventure都有“投机，风险”之意，二者有何区别

Adventure应解作[历险]，就像参加原始森林的旅程，是完全没有想象过，或不能想象会遇到的事情；例：We had quite an adventure when we were on holiday in Europe. We got lost on the Alps（我们在欧洲旅行时遭遇了一次历险。我们在阿尔卑斯山上迷途）！Adventure的意思如上例所述的，一定是exciting(刺激)和unusual(不寻常)的，有时甚至会是[明知山有虎，偏向虎山行]式的冒险。相反，venture是经过深思熟虑才进行的，虽然未必能预测每一步，可是绝不像adventure般单凭胆色和热诚去盲闯。Venture这词常用于商业活动，如business venture指开拓新的业务范围；例："I heard you were involved in some sort of business venture in the Philippines.""Yes, we opened a small recording studio in Manila. It turned out to be a winner-- far better than we expected."([听说你在菲律宾开展了新的生意。][是的，我们在马尼拉开了一间小型录音室，生意极佳，远远超出我们的预期。]
