1.俚语kick the bucke“翘辫子”起源于"上吊"，因为试图悬梁自尽的人通常会选择站在一个木桶之类的东西上，将脖子伸进绳圈里，然后决然踢翻脚下的支撑物，告别这个世界。When I ckick the bucket, bury me on top of that mountain.2.pass awaySadly, Georgia's uncle passed away yesterday after a short illness.真伤心，乔治亚的叔叔昨天得了一场急病去世了。3.pass onI'm sorry to learn that your dear mother has just passed on. 很遗憾听到你妈妈刚刚去世的消息。pass away 和 pass on 都是暗指过世。4.lose one's life一般指由于意外事故、战争等不可抗力而造成的死亡，为意外死亡。How did he lose his life?他是怎么死的？5.departdepart 也是死亡的委婉说法，意思是灵魂离开了肉体的存在去往另一个世界了。Comrade Zhou Enlai finally departed from us.周恩来同志和我们永别了。6.expireexpire的意思是呼气，这里引申为呼出最后一口气，暗指死亡。The patient expired early this morning.这位病人今天早晨去世了。7.perishperish 指的是非自然死亡。Many soldiers perish in battle.很多士兵在战斗中死去了。8.go to meet one’s Maker注意这个Maker要大写，有造物主的意思，所以去见造物主了就是灵魂回归了，也就是死亡的委婉说法，就像我们也会说某人“去见马克思了”。He knew that he came into the world with nothing and that he would go to meet his Maker with empty hands. 他知道他是一无所有的来到世上，也将会两手空空的离开人间。
