v. (動詞)
-
expire的意思是人“斷氣”“死亡”,現常用于表示“結束,期滿,終止”,通常指某項協議到了規定的期限,以后將失去作用。有時也可指人的死亡。
-
expire只用作不及物動詞,常與with連用。
v. (動詞)
- expire, die, pass away, perish
-
- 這組詞(組)都有“死”的意思。其區別是：
- die是這一組詞中最常用的,用于一切有生命的或被人們比喻為有生命的東西; expire是書面用語,是一種委婉的說法,意思是“呼出最后一口氣”; pass away是die的委婉說法,語氣比較緩和; perish是較正式用語,指死于暴力或困境等非正常死亡。例如:
- He became very ill and then he died.他病得很重,接著就死了。
- The old man expired at the age of eighty.老人于80歲時逝世。
- Five people perished in the fire.大火中有五人喪生。
- die，decease，expire，perish，pass away
-
- 這些動詞或短語動詞均有“死”或“死亡”之意。
- die最普通用詞，指某人或某物失去生命而永遠不存在。
- decease正式用詞，多指法律上的用語。
- expire委婉用詞。從本義“從肺部吐出氣來”引申為吐出最后一口氣，斷氣而死。
- perish書面用詞，多指夭折或不幸暴亡。
- pass away是die的委婉用語。
