用法说明
dead
1. dead, deadly
dead既可作形容词，也可作副词，作副词解时为“的确”或“完全”。而deadly作形容词，意为“致命的”，作副词则意为“极度地”。
试比较：
You are dead right.你完全正确。
a deadly poison致命的毒药
Food is deadly wanted there.那里粮食奇缺。
2. dead, died
这两个词容易混淆，dead是形容词；而died是动词die的过去式和过去分词。
试比较：
a dead man一个死人
He died in a traffic accident.他死于一场交通事故。
在表示某人已死去若干年时，要用has been dead,而不用has died,例如：
His father has been dead for five years.他父亲已经去世五年了。
而不能说
*His father has died for five years.
