dead是什么意思？怎么用？

dead的基本意思是“死的”,表示人生命终止或动植物枯萎、枯死。引申可表示“死寂的”“麻木的”“极度疲倦的,累极的”“阴沉的”等,所指的对象可以是人、动物、植物,也可以是抽象的事物。在一些短语里dead还可指“完全的,全然的”。

dead在句中可用作定语、表语或宾语补足语。

dead与定冠词the连用可用作名词,表示“死者”。

dead在逻辑上已表示极限,故不能再用比较级和较高级。

用作adv.(副词)

dead用作副词意思是“突然地,完全地”,也可作“极度地,”“直接地,正对着”解。

dead在句中主要用作状语,可修饰动词、形容词、介词短语或其他副词。
