词语用法

adj. (形容词)

1. dead的基本意思是“死的”,表示人生命终止或动植物枯萎、枯死。引申可表示“死寂的”“麻木的”“极度疲倦的,累极的”“阴沉的”等,所指的对象可以是人、动物、植物,也可以是抽象的事物。在一些短语里dead还可指“完全的,全然的”。
2. dead在句中可用作定语、表语或宾语补足语。
3. dead与定冠词the连用可用作名词,表示“死者”。
4. dead在逻辑上已表示极限,故不能再用比较级和最高级。

adv. (副词)

1. dead用作副词意思是“突然地,完全地”,也可作“极度地,绝对”“直接地,正对着”解。
2. dead在句中主要用作状语,可修饰动词、形容词、介词短语或其他副词。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

dead, deadly

• 这两个词都可用作形容词。但意思不同:dead意指“死了”“枯萎的”“死寂的”“麻木的”; 而deadly作“致命的”“极其危险的”“死气沉沉的”“势不两立的”解。例如:
• Dead men tell no tales.
• 死人不会告密。
• Cancer is a deadly disease.
• 癌症是一种致命的疾病。

下面两个短语意思不同:

• a dead house 太平房
• a death house 死囚牢

adv. (副词)

dead, deadly

• 这两个词用作副词时意思不同:dead表示“突然地”“完全地”“正对着”; 而deadly表示“如死人地”“死一般地”“极度”“非常”。例如:
• You are dead right.
• 你完全正确。
• He looks deadly serious.
• 他看上去极其严肃。

dead，dying

• 这两个形容词都有“死”之意。
• dead指已停止呼吸和心脏跳动，与alive(活着的，活的)相对。
• dying指奄奄一息，行将死亡。

dead，deadly

• deadly用作形容词时，很易和另一形容词dead混淆不清。
• dead意思是“死的”、“已死去的”（no longer living）；用作副词时，其意为“完全地”、“非常地”，如：dead drunk； dead tired； dead dull； dead right.
• deadly用作形容词时，其意为“致命的”：“不共戴天的”（likely to cause death or filled with intense hatred）。与之经常搭配使用的词有：poison、weapon、wound、enemy。deadly用作副词时，也是表示“非常”、“极其”的意思，一般用于负面意义，相当于very much和extremely.

常见错误

adj. (形容词)

1. 他在两年前死了。

   误 He was dead two years ago.

   正 He died two years ago.

   正 He has been dead for two years.

   析 dead作形容词表示状态,不能和表示某一过去时间的状语连用,而died是动词,表示瞬间动作,可以和表示某一过去时间的状语连用。
