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。

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.

adj.(形容词)

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。

• ☆ 直接源自中古英语的ded；最初源自古英语的dead，意为死。
