生活口语：关于死亡，西方也委婉
<p>我们中国人通常都很忌讳说&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;死这个字，都会根据一个人的身份以及和自己的关系采用不同的说法。我们的古代会按照等级的划分有&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;天子死曰崩，诸侯死曰薨，大夫死曰卒，士曰不禄，庶人曰死，在床曰尸，在棺曰柩，羽鸟曰降，四足曰渍，死寇曰兵的说法，我们现在会说一个人&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;离开了我们，&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;去世了、&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;不在我们身边了。同样西方虽然有很直接的<span word="die">die</span>这个词，但也有很多比较委婉的说法。</p><p><span word="pass">pass</span> <span word="away">away</span></p><p><span word="Sadly">Sadly</span>, <span word="Georgia">Georgia</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="uncle">uncle</span> <span word="passed">passed</span> <span word="away">away</span> <span word="yesterday">yesterday</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="short">short</span> <span word="illness">illness</span>.</p><p>真伤心，乔治亚的叔叔昨天得了一场急病去世了。</p><p><span word="pass">pass</span> <span word="on">on</span></p><p><span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="sorry">sorry</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="learn">learn</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="dear">dear</span> <span word="mother">mother</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="passed">passed</span> <span word="on">on</span>.</p><p>很遗憾听到你妈妈刚刚去世的消息。</p><p><span word="pass">pass</span> <span word="away">away</span> 和 <span word="pass">pass</span> <span word="on">on</span> 都是暗指过世。</p><p><span word="lose">lose</span> <span word="one">one</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="life">life</span></p><p>一般指由于意外事故、战争等不可抗力而造成的死亡，为意外死亡。</p><p><span word="How">How</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="lose">lose</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="life">life</span>?</p><p>他是怎么死的？</p><p><span word="depart">depart</span></p><p><span word="depart">depart</span> 也是死亡的委婉说法，意思是灵魂离开了肉体的存在去往另一个世界了。</p><p>Comrade Zhou Enlai finally <span word="depart">depart</span>ed from us.</p><p>周恩来同志和我们永别了。</p><p><span word="expire">expire</span></p><p><span word="expire">expire</span>的意思是呼气，这里引申为呼出最后一口气，暗指死亡。</p>
