die of后面往往接直接、明确、源自内部的死因（比如疾病的名称），比如：die of cancer（注意die of cancer几乎已成为固定搭配，绝少使用from）, of AIDs, of bird flu, of pneumonia, of hunger, of sorrow, of loneliness。
而die from后面则接笼统的、间接、外来的死因，比如：die from hurricane（很少说die of hurricane）。
扩展资料：
die out, wipe out这两个短语都有“消灭,灭绝”的意思,其区别在于前者的意思是“主动地消灭”,后者的意思是“被动地灭绝”。
试比较：
In order to find ways to wipe out flies, the biologist has spent 33 years watching their behaviour.
为了消灭苍蝇,这位生物学家花了33 年时间观察苍蝇的行为。
If too many of these rare animals are killed, their kind will die out.
三大疾病死亡原因英文：Causes of death in three diseasesThe three leading causes of death were cancers, heart diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases. 二零零一年,市民的三大死亡原因是癌症 、 心脏病, 以及与脑血管有关的疾病.
