三、辨析
alive, live, living
这些形容词均有“活着的，活的”之意。
(1) alive 其反义词为 dead，指生命从奄奄一息到精力旺盛的各种状态。 多用于指人，通常只能作表语、补足语或后置定语，有时用作比喻或强调时也用于物。例如：
Given the chance to sing on stage, he is very much alive. 有机会在台上唱歌，他显得很活跃。
The bazaar was all alive by the time we arrived. 我们到达时，墟市非常热闹。
(2) live 通常作定语，指活生生的，生气勃勃的，还可表示现场直播的。 需要注意的是，live 作定语时，一般不用于指人，如不可说 a live poet，而要说 a living poet。
(3) living 其反义词为 dead，指包括人和动植物的生命没有消失、仍然存在的状态。既可用作表语形容词，又可用作定语形容词，故可放在它所修饰的名词之前。 我们既可以说：
English is a living language．
也可以说：
Is his father still living？
另外，在某些场合下，living 和 alive 表示的含义并不相同，尽管它们都用作表语。例如：
At last we found him in a trap in the forest，still living but not alive.
通过对比，可以看出，living之意是“活的”；alive 之意是“有气息的”。这里的 not alive 表示人虽然还活着，但已“气息奄奄”、“没有生气”了
