The Environmental Protection Agency frequently puts mandatory controls on toxic substances that present as little risk as one in a million chances to cause cancer.
as little risk as one in a million chances to cause
as little risk as one chance in a million of causing
as little risk as one chance in a million that it will cause
a risk as little as one chance in a million for causing
a risk as little as one chance in a million for it to cause
possibility/likelihood 只能接of/that,表示可能性,控制力弱,不能接to do
opportunity/chance 可以接of/that也可以接to do,区别在于:如果指机会大小等数学量的表达,只能接of,如:have a 70% chance of doing sth, 不能说have a 70% chance to do sth;如果强调有机会去开始某事,可以用 the opportunity/chance to do sth;
risk of doing sth;risk表示风险,对动作的发生与否控制力弱,不接to do;risk to sth/sb,对某事的风险;有引发癌症的风险,这个引发不单是指将来引发,它可以是过去引发、现在引发、将来引发,这些都是风险,所以更接近一种惯常的状态,不用 will
