What does Danger mean?
“危险”这个词是使用catastro的感觉phe or peril. It is usually employed by people when they are describing situations when one can come under harm due to some fact. Observe the two sentences:
他看到在战斗中失去生命的危险。
There is a danger of losing marks if you answer the questions wrongly.
在第一句话中,您会看到危险一词是在“灾难”的意义上使用的。因此,第一句话的含义是“他看到了在战斗中失去生命的灾难”。In the second sentence, the word danger is used in the sense ‘something unpleasant.’ So, the meaning of the second sentence would be ‘something unpleasant like losing marks will happen if you answer the questions wrongly.’ Then, look at the following sentence.
If you come with me, you will not be in danger anymore.
在此示例中,演讲者告诉某人他或她将不再处于其他人可能伤害他或她的地方或情况。因此,这里的危险一词意味着“危险”。
危险most of the time speaks about physical harm that can come to a person. You must have seen Danger signs near lakes or rivers that are too deep. There the danger sign says that swimming and cause death. So, you have to stay away from those waters. As we all know death is the biggest physical threat we can undergo.

What does Risk mean?
The word risk is used in the sense of ‘chance.’ However, you have to remember that chance here is always associated with negativity. Observe the two sentences:
在建造房屋时,他承担了很多风险。
The insurance policy covers all types of risks such as fire, burglary, etc.
In both the sentences given above, you can see that the word risk is used in the sense of ‘chance.’ Hence, the meaning of the first sentence would be ‘he undertook a lot of chances while building his home.’ If the chances this person was facing at the time of building his house were good chances then the serious mood of the sentence would not be there. Also, if the chances were positive that person would have used another word such as opportunity. However, using risk here shows that this person had to face a lot of hardships, a lot of chances that could have ruined him completely. He has gambled with them to achieve his goal. In the same manner, the meaning of the second sentence would be the ‘the insurance policy covers all types of chances such as fire, burglary, etc.’ Now, here also, if the chances were some kind of good chances there is no need to take an insurance policy at all. People take insurance policies to make sure that they can find赔偿for risks, untold negative chances that may come in their life.
