dead 和 died 不同的「死法」
1. 基本文法說(shuō)明
dead (死的)是形容詞，用來(lái)描述一種狀態(tài)。而 died則是 die (死亡、去世)的過(guò)去式/過(guò)去分詞。
2. 錯(cuò)誤發(fā)生情況及修正

例 my mother is dead when i was still a baby. (x)
my mother died when i was still a baby. (o)
我母親在我還是小嬰兒的時(shí)候就去世了。
這邊親人去世死亡已經(jīng)是個(gè)既成的事實(shí)而非狀態(tài)，所以應(yīng)該用 died 而非
dead。以下是兩個(gè)正確的范例：
例 i can’t tell if this cat is dead or alive. 我無(wú)法分辨這只貓是死的還是活的。
例 fay johnson died from a heart attack. 費(fèi)強(qiáng)森死于心臟病發(fā)。
b.「死人」的正確說(shuō)法
例 the purpose of this gathering is to honor the dead people. (x)
the purpose of this gathering is to honor the dead. (o)
這個(gè)聚會(huì)的目的是要紀(jì)念那些死去的人。
當(dāng)你要表達(dá)「死者」或「死去的人」，記得不要用字面的 the dead people 而是要說(shuō)成 the dead。
