decease,disease 这两个词的读音和拼法相似,故易混淆。 Decease/disi: s/是死亡、去世;disease /dizi:z/是患病、疾病。这两个字都可用作名词和动词,初学英语的人容易将两字误用或把两字的拼写混作一起。 与death相比,decease是正式用语,常见于法律条文中。下面请看例句: Upon the decease of so-and-so,the sum of money will pass to his wife and children 某某死后,整笔钱归他妻子及儿女所有。 The decease rate in that country is very high. 那个国家的死亡率很高。 The generals decease left the army without a leader. 将军死亡使这支军队群龙无首。 deceased是形容词,意思是死亡的、已故的,因此,deceased father是先父,deceased wife是亡妻。 如在deceased之前加个定冠词,其意为死者、亡人。例如: The deceased was killed in a road accident. 死者是在一次公路事故中身亡的。 The deceased left a large sum of money to his children. 死者给儿女们留下了一大笔钱。 下面是disease 的例句: The task of a doctor is to prevent or cure diseases. |
