词语用法

v. (动词)

1. die的基本意思是指动植物因生命终止而“死亡”。引申可表示“消失,停止运行”“枯萎”等。
2. die主要用作不及物动词,也可用作系动词,接名词或形容词作表语,表示死时的身份或状态。die有时也可用作及物动词,但必须接同源名词death作宾语, death前常可有形容词修饰。die不用于被动结构。
3. die和副词小品词连用可组成短语如die away, die down, die out,均表示由大到小,由近到远,由有到无,指灯光、火光、声音等逐渐消失。
4. die后接介词可组成短语表示死于某种原因。如接介词from表示“死于非命”等,接of表示因“疾病或年老”等而死亡。
5. 在口语中, die往往作“渴望、切望”或“强烈地感受到”解,表示一种极度状态,此时用现在进行时,其后可接介词for〔of, to〕或动词不定式。
6. die偶尔可用于进行体,表示“就要死去,渐渐死去”。
7. die的现在分词dying可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

die by, die for, die from, die of

• 这组短语都表示“死亡的原因”。其区别在于:
• 1.die from和die of意思相同,用die of时较多。die from一般指害病、疲劳、负伤、饥渴、辛苦、失望等致死, die of常指饮食过度、工作过度、饮酒过量等致死。
• 2.die for表示为了理想、事业而献身或因犯罪而被处死。例如:
• He died for his belief.他为了自己的信仰而献身了。
• He died for the crime he had committed.他因所犯的罪行而被处死。
• 3.die by则多表示横死。例如:
• He died by his own hand.他自杀了。

die, peg out

• 这组词语都有“死”的意思。其区别在于:peg out是英式英语,多用于口语中,只指“人死”; 而die是一种比较正式的用法,指人时相当于pass away,也可以指植物“干枯”。

die out, wipe out

• 这两个短语都有“消灭,灭绝”的意思,其区别在于前者的意思是“主动地消灭”,后者的意思是“被动地灭绝”。试比较:
• In order to find ways to wipe out flies, the biologist has spent 33 years watching their behaviour.
• 为了消灭苍蝇,这位生物学家花了33 年时间观察苍蝇的行为。
• If too many of these rare animals are killed, their kind will die out.
• 如果过多地屠杀这些稀有动物,它们 就会绝种。

die, assassinate, execute, kill

• 这组词的共同意思是“死”。其区别是：
• 1.kill表示“杀死”,是中性词,一般指死于非命; die表示“死”,是中性词,一般指正常死亡。例如:
• He died three years ago.他三年前去世了。
• assassinate是一种特殊形式的“谋杀”,通常是针对领袖人物或知名人士的。例如:
• The attempt of assassinating the prime minister failed.刺杀首相的企图未能得逞。
• execute是指依照法律或执行命令将某人“处死”。例如:
• The man was executed for treason of his own country.那人因叛国罪而被处死。
• 2.kill的宾语可以是人或物,施动者也可以是人或物; die常用作不及物动词,不用于被动结构,可跟同源宾语。例如:
• She died a heroic death.她英勇就义了。
• murder的主语和宾语均须是人。例如:
• The invaders murdered thousands and thousands of the natives.侵略者屠杀了成千上万的当地居民。

die, expire, pass away, perish

• 这组词(组)都有“死”的意思。其区别是：
• die是这一组词中最常用的,用于一切有生命的或被人们比喻为有生命的东西; expire是书面用语,是一种委婉的说法,意思是“呼出最后一口气”; pass away是die的委婉说法,语气比较缓和; perish是较正式用语,指死于暴力或困境等非正常死亡。例如:
• He became very ill and then he died.他病得很重,接着就死了。
• The old man expired at the age of eighty.老人于80岁时逝世。
• Five people perished in the fire.大火中有五人丧生。

die for, ache for, hanger for, long for, sign for, starve for, thirst for

• 参见ache条。

下面每组中的两个句子意思不同:

• The woman died of shame.
• 那女人含羞而死。
• The woman died to shame.
• 那女人恬不知耻。
• She must be dead.
• 她一定是死了。(状态)
• She must have died.
• 她一定死了。(动作)

die，decease，expire，perish，pass away

• 这些动词或短语动词均有“死”或“死亡”之意。
• die最普通用词，指某人或某物失去生命而永远不存在。
• decease正式用词，多指法律上的用语。
• expire委婉用词。从本义“从肺部吐出气来”引申为吐出最后一口气，断气而死。
• perish书面用词，多指夭折或不幸暴亡。
• pass away是die的委婉用语。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 他去世三年了。

   误 He has died for three years.

   正 He died three years ago.

   析 die是瞬间动词,不可与for引起的表示一段时间的状语搭配。

2. 他三年前死的。

   误 He was died three years ago.

   正 He died three years ago.

   析 die主要用作不及物动词,不能构成被动结构。偶尔用作及物动词时接同源名词death作宾语。

3. 他们虽然死了,但他们为祖国争得了荣誉。

   误 Although they died, they have won the honour for their country.

   正 Although they are dead, they have won the honour for their country.

   析 die的过去式一般只用在如“说明何时死的,生什么病死的,死时年轻(富有或贫穷)等”场合,英美人习惯用be dead表示“某人已死”。
