 ♣ peg out, die
　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”。

　peg　还可用作名词，基本意思是“钉；栓，桩；借口”。例如：
　The teacher asked the campers to hammer the tent pegs into the ground first, and then tie the ropes onto them.　老师让野营的学生先把系帐篷的桩子打进地里，再把绳子系在桩子上。
　He had not a peg to hang on and got dumb for some time.　他一点借口也找不出来，愣在那儿好一会儿。
