Language Enhancement:
Jeopardy (n.)(處於危險之中)
這字意思與 danger 相同，但要注意其讀音和用法。該 o 不發音，讀起來是 jep-par-dy，而且它絕大部分時候與介詞 in 一同出現：Sb./sth. + be + in jeopardy，意思是某人或物（例如職位）處於危險之中，會遭受傷害或損失。順帶一提，Jeopardy! 是美國一個著名遊戲節目的名稱，但意思當然與日常生活中使用的 in jeopardy 不同。
e.g. Deforestation has put the lives of many wildlife animals in jeopardy. They might all be extinct soon if we don’t change our ways of living.
e.g. While the general public seems to be enthusiastic about the rapid development of AI, some people are worried that countless jobs could be in jeopardy.
