词意辨析

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.

he is dead.
他死了。

i found a dog howling over the dead body.

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.

be careful!this is a deadly poison.
小心！这是致命的毒药。
