英語中除了用die這個比較直接的說法表示“死”以外,其實也有不少委婉的表達方式,比如pass away、pass on、depart、expire、perish等,這里的perish多指非正常死亡,比如perish in battle(在戰(zhàn)爭中死亡)。
其他一些英語中常用的委婉說法還有:
His time has come.
He has climbed the golden staircase.
His number is up.
His sands have run out.
His star has set.
He has joined the majority.
He is sleeping the final sleep.
He is resting in peace.
He has met his end.
He has breathed his last.
He answered the last number.
He has joined the angels.
