Modern society has become a risk society in the sense that it is increasingly occupied with debating, preventing, and managing risk that itself has produced.

现代社会已经成为一个风险社会，因为它正日益忙于争论、规避和管理其自身产生的风险。

When trying to understand the driving forces of our modern society, I can't think of a better place to start them with German sociologist Ulrich Beck and his risk society thesis.

当我想要解析当今社会的运作动力时，我发现没有比德国社会学家乌利希·贝克及其风险社会理论更合适的基点。
