"Dice with death" = chơi súc sắc với tử thần -> ở trong trạng thái cực kỳ nguy hiểm.

Ví dụ
But every day hundreds of ordinary (bình thường) workers dice with death to complete these essential (thiết yếu) tasks.

His death reminds us that tomorrow is not promised to any of us. In our own country, we dice with death every day, given our lifestyles, state of our roads, etc. Bryant has gone the way of all flesh but his legacy as one of the greatest players to ever play the game of basketball will forever be illuminated (soi sáng).

The series of James Bond movies has featured its share of earth-shattering (chấn động) character deaths. Bond's wife Tracy in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Judi Dench's M in Skyfall and Jill Masterson's still golden frame in Goldfinger all linger (lưu lại) in the memory and prove that being a woman in Bond's life is an occupational hazard. Somewhat surprisingly, considering the constant peril (hiểm họa) the character is faced with, Bond himself has never faced the reaper (thần chết). Throughout 58 years of existence on the big screen, Bond has diced with death and always come up trumps (số đỏ). Even when the franchise's future was uncertain, even when an actor was due to be replaced, Bond always rides off into the sunset (mostly) unharmed.
