重点词汇讲解

1.catch fire与be on fire

1)catch fire：begin to burn着火;烧着。catch fire有动态含义，揩“开始燃烧”。

例如：

Paper catches fire easily.纸容易着火。

The bed clothes catch fire and the whole house may be burnt down.铺盖着火了，整个房子都可能烧掉。

2)be on fire：be burning着火;失火。 be on fire有静态含义，指“燃烧的状态”。

例如：

The house was on fire.房子着火了。

She woke up at midnight and found the kitchen on fire.她半夜醒来发现厨房失火了。

2.die of与die from

1)die of可用来表示“死亡的原因”，经常用于害病、饥渴、年老、疾劳等致死的场合。

例如：

die of an illness/a disease; die of hunger; die of thirst; die of a fever; die of old age等等。

2)die from常用于过度饮食eating too much;饮酒过度drinking too much;工作过度overwork等。

但是有语法家认为这种区别实际上并不存在。他们认为，在表示死因(the cause of death)时，既可以用die of，也可以用die of，但是以die of为多见。

例如：

He died of cancer.他死于癌症。He died from cancer.他死于癌症。
