人总是要死的。用言语来表达人死现象,从古到今,形成了多种表现形式,这就是我们所要谈的人死别称词。如:逝世、百年、见上帝、填沟壑、山陵崩等等。如果统计一下这类词语数目绝不会少于五、六十个。不过,有些是现代的产品(如“见马克思”),有的虽历史比较悠久,但今天仍习用常见(如“死”)。值得注意的是有那么些古代惯用的人死称谓形式,到了现代却已悄然而去、消声匿迹了。 People are always dying. The use of words to express the phenomenon of human death, since ancient times, formed a variety of forms of expression, which is what we are talking about people die alias. Such as: death, a hundred years, see God, fill the gully, hill collapse and so on. If you count the number of such words will never be less than five or sixty. However, some are modern products (such as “see Marx”). Some of them have a relatively long history but are still commonly used today (eg “death”). It is noteworthy that there are so many ancient people used to death form, to the modern has quietly gone, disappeared.
