Picture the yellow triangle on a drum of chemicals: nothing has gone wrong yet, but this thing can hurt you if it is handled . Hazardous labels that built-in potential for harm — the danger is a property of the thing, waiting for a careless moment.

可以想成:化學藥桶上那個黃色三角標誌。目前什麼事都還沒發生,但只要處理得不小心,它就會傷到人。hazardous 標示的就是這種內建的傷害力——危險是這樣東西本身帶著的性質,等的是疏忽的那一刻。
