Ⅰ.die 是不及物动词，一般指因生病，负伤等原因而死。且是非延续性动词(瞬间动词)，不能和表示一段时间的状语(for+段时间短语;或since……)连用。如： ① He was born in 1847 and died in 1913. 他生于1847年，死于1913年。 ② His grandfather has been dead for two years. = His grandfather died two years ago. 他爷爷去世两年了。 ③ He died ten years ago.他是10年前死的。(不可说：He has died for ten years. 或应说：It is 10 years since he died) Ⅱ.dead 是形容词，表状态，可在句中作表语和定语。但不可作谓语。如： ① He is dead, but his name sill live for ever in our hearts.他虽然死了但他的名字将永远活在我们心中。 ② It doesn’t look like a dead fox.看来不像一只死狐狸。 Ⅲ.death是抽象名词，只能在句中作主语或宾语。如： ① The murderer was sentenced to death. 杀人犯被宣判死刑。 ② I heard of his death when I got to his house. 我一到他家就得知他已经去世了。 ：①die /dye 此两词本来意义是完全不同的(die “死” dye “染，染上”),只时二者的现在分词形式常易混淆。die—→dying dye—→dyeing ② die for / die from / die of/die away/die down/ die off/ die out |
