pass away
Sadly, Georgia's uncle passed away yesterday after a short illness. pass on
I'm sorry to learn that your dear mother has just passed on. pass away 和 pass on 都是暗指过世。 lose one's life 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。
How did he lose his life? depart depart 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。
Comrade Zhou Enlai finally departed from us. expire expire的意思是呼气,这里引申为呼出 后一口气,暗指死亡。
The patient expired early this morning. perish perish 指的是非自然死亡。
Many soldiers perish in battle. go to meet one’s Maker 注意这个Maker要大写,有造物主的意思,所以去见造物主了就是灵魂回归了,也就是死亡的委婉说法,就像我们也会说某人“去见马克思了”。
He knew that he came into the world with nothing and that he would go to meet his Maker with empty hands. |
