最近著名作家，翻译家的杨绛逝世引起了人们的广泛关注。那么如何用英语委婉地表达一个人的逝世呢？
英语中除了用die这个比较直接的说法表示“死”以外，其实也有不少委婉的表达方式，比如pass away、pass on、depart、 expire、perish等，这里的perish多指非正常死亡，比如perish in glight(在斗争中死亡)。
---pass away
Sadly, 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。
---pass on
I'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。
---lose one's life
Usually it indicate the death caused by accidents,wars which is force majeure.
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？
---depart
depart 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。
Zhang Haifeng finally departed from us.
张海峰和我们永别了
---expire
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。
---perish
perish 指的是非自然死亡。
Many soldiers perish in battle.
很多士兵在战斗中死去了。
---go to meet one’s Maker
Maker有造物主的意思，去见造物主了就是灵魂回归了.
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。
--其它委婉表达
His time has come.
He has climbed the golden staircase.
He is sleeping the final sleep.
He is resting in peace.
He has breathed his last.
He answered the last number.
He has joined the angels.
