《新聞辭典》
die from：慣用語，死於……（接原因）。大致來說，die from後接間接死因， die of後接直接死因，但常會混用。例句：There’s a physics joke that goes "it’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end". Similarly, if you fell twenty stories, we might say that you died from falling, but you died of massive trauma and bloodloss （caused by the fall）.（有個物理笑話是這樣說的，「害死你的不是墜樓，而是最後的驟止」。同樣地，倘若你跌落20層樓，我們也許可以說，你的間接死因是墜樓，但直接死因是（墜樓所導致的）重大創傷與失血。）
at the risk of doing something：慣用語，冒著……的風險。
take someone/something seriously：慣用語，認真以對。例句：Don’t take everything he says so seriously.（別把他說的一切都太當一回事。）
