stick意思是"伸"，stick one's neck out就是伸出脖子來。這個習慣用語很可能來自宰雞的時候雞伸長脖子叫喚，反倒正好給人下刀的機會，引申為“冒險、擔風險”。
【例句】
He was only too pleased to let someone else stick their neck out and take responsibility.
他太樂意讓別人出頭冒風險，擔責任。
During my political life I've earned myself a reputation as someone who'll stick his neck out, a bit of a rebel.
我在政治生涯中敢冒風險、有點叛逆是小有名氣的。
