What's the difference between"stake"and "risk"? I found that "low stake" and "low risk" have the same meaning after translation, so is there any difference when using them?Thanks!

Stake is used primarily with money, and in this context means a small amount of money. Risk refers to the possibility of failure, more than the amount you risk losing. So 'low risk' could refer to investments, but it could also refer to outdoor pursuits, or even travel.

If you buy a $1 lottery ticket for a chance to win $100,000, there is $100,000 at stake but only $1 at risk To some extent, the difference is ownership. "At stake" does not specify ownership. "At risk" implies that something is in danger. In my example, your $1 is at risk of being lost.

I feel the word risk has a more of an negative connotation than when the words at stake are mentioned. Just my opinion.
