[一語(yǔ)擊破]

die 是表示短暫性動(dòng)作的動(dòng)詞，意為“死亡”、“斷氣”，指生命的結(jié)束，強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作。如：

The girl's grandpa died five years ago.

注意： die 不可和一段時(shí)間的狀語(yǔ)連用。

(誤) He has died for two years.

(正) he has been dead for two years.

dead 是形容詞，意為“死的”，通常和 be 動(dòng)詞連用，表示死的狀態(tài)。如：

Her father has been dead for one year.

dying 是 die 的現(xiàn)在分詞，常用作形容詞，意思是“要死的”、“瀕臨死亡的”。如：

The old man is dying.

death 是 die 的名詞形式，意為“死、死亡”。如：

It makes me very sad when I think of my grandpa's death.
