今天我們要學的詞是 perilous.

perilous 的意思是危險的，險惡的。 Myanmar authorities detained 173 ethnic Rohingya aboard a boat off the southern coast, amid signs that more members of the Muslim minority group are making perilous sea voyages to escape persecution. 緬甸當局在其南部近海的一艘船上拘捕了173名羅興亞人，有跡象表明，更多的穆斯林少數族裔為了逃避迫害而走上危險的海上逃亡之路。

The U.S. has become the world's number one oil producer, some analysts argue that the status could help move international relations toward a U.S.-led order, which is the best hope for the world in this perilous century. 美國已成為世界第一大產油國，一些分析家認為，這種地位可能有助于國際關系朝著美國主導的秩序發展，而這是全球在這一危險世紀中的最大希望。
