生活口语

I want to gamble in stocks with the hope of gains.

我想要冒险投资股票，希望能有收益。

If I were you,I would give it a second thought.

如果我是你，我就会再慎重考虑一下。

重点讲解:

I'd like to take the risk in investing in stocks with the hope of gains.

I want to gamble in stocks with the hope of gains.

当拥有一定的存款就想要投资，表达“冒险投资股票”可以说:take the risk in investing in stocks,短语take the risk就表示“冒险”，口语中用gamble in更能凸显出其风险性，gamble本意是“赌博”，gamble in的意思就是“冒险去做某事”。
