| 词组 | die |
| 释义 | 1．die 是不及物动词，不可用在被动语态。但 died 有时用作形容词，如 George Bernard Shaw, died 1950 和 John Milton, born 1608 and died 1674 或 John Milton, born 1608, died 1674。 2．have died（完成时态）当然不错，但英美人除了对于死了不久的人以外，不用这语。如某人死了一天或一星期，可以说 He has died。假使某人死了一年或十年，习惯说 He is dead。He has died 着重在“他现在已经死了而不像不久以前活着。”He is dead 着重在“他是死了的而不是活着的。”即使对于死了不久的人，He has died 也不及 He is dead 普通。 不但这样，说“某人在某日因某病死去”也往往用 was dead 代 died。例如：Mr F. G. Nelson was dead of cancer on Monday. 3．died 是一时的动作，所以不可说 He has died for a week。说“他死了一星期”。该说 He has been dead for a week 或 It is a week since he died。He died a week ago 着重在死的日期而不着重在死了以后到现在的时期。 4．die 用在进行时态作“渐渐死去”解，如 He is dying 是“他渐渐死了”。也就是“他快要死了”。He has been dying for a week 是“他濒于死境已有一星期”。 但 dying 用在独立结构里有时是“渐渐死去”，有时是“死去”，比较下面两句： The old man dying（渐渐死去）, his sons shed tears silently. He was twice married, his first wife dying（死去）during his absence abroad. 5．说“因为……而死”通常用 die of。例如：What did he die of? He died of cancer. He died of hunger. 和 He died of old age. 在病名的前面有时用 from。例如：He died from cancer. 6．die 后面接形容词或名词，作“在死的时候是……”解。例如：He died rich. He died young. He died a hero. 和 He died a martyr. 7．die（骰子）的复数形式是 dice，习惯上“一粒骰子”说 one of the dice 而不说 a die。也有人说 a dice。 |
