单词 | to death(to the death) |
释义 | death , to ~: to the ~— 240 这两个短语要加以区别:用作本义, to death 是作“以致于死”讲,用作喻义,则是“极度”的意思; to the death 则作“至死为止”或“直到死”讲,只能用作本义,不作喻义。 例如: Many a man was burnt to death in the fire. 在这场大火中有不少人被烧死。 I was sick to death of your complaint. 你的抱怨我已听得厌烦透了。 We are tired to death. 我们累得要命。 They were fighting to the death, each with a hand upon theother's throat. 他们各自用手卡住对方的脖子死斗到底。 Don't fear me. I will be true to the death. 不用怕我。我坚持信义至死不渝。 |
