A safety is a device that helps keep you from doing bad things, like the safety on a gun that prevents you from pulling the trigger accidentally.
Safety, besides meaning “the state of being safe,” is used for things that promote safety. If you designate a special meeting place in case of emergency, that place is a safety. If you use contraception during sex, that's also a safety, to prevent pregnancy. In football it's a safety if a player is tackled behind his own goal line. And if you hit the baseball in a way to ensure you reach the base, that's called a safety too.

safety有“事到临头,消极逃避以免受害”的意味;
而security则有“积极防范以保证不受害”的意味。
例如:The Smiths are living in peace and security.史密斯一家过着平静安稳的生活。
safety多用作不可数名词,常用于in safety或with safety短语中。
