"Die"是一个动词,表示生命终结的意思。它来源于古英语"dēað",源自古北欧语。例如:
He died of cancer. (他死于癌症。)
The plant is dying because it doesn't have enough water. (这棵植物因缺水而枯萎。)
"Pass away"是一个动词短语,表示去世的意思,它较为委婉。它来源于中世英语"passe awey",本意是离去。例如:
My grandmother passed away last year. (我奶奶去年去世了。)
He passed away peacefully in his sleep. (他在梦中安详地离开了。)
