survive和live的区别和用法。
Survive是动词,而live是形容词,同学们太不注意词性啦!
Survive与outlive, outlast是近义词;
Live 与living, alive是近义词,分别解说如下:
Survive, outlive, outlast
这组动词都含“比别人或别的物存在的时间长”的意思。

survive比…活(或存在)的时间长,有时可与outlive通用,survive常用于直系亲属之间,如:
1. He is survived by his wife and children.
他妻子和孩子们活得都比他长。(这句是不是有点难理解?哈~~)
2. She survived her husband by ten years.
丈夫死后她又活了十年。
注:survive 通常指经受致命的危险后仍存活下来,如:
3. She survived the plane crash.
她在飞机坠毁后幸免于难。
Outlive “比…活得长”,在预料性的比较中,或表示在某段时间后仍活着,用outlive比survive更合适:
4. Im sure Rose will outlive many of us.
我肯定罗丝会比我们中的很多人长命。
注:outlive另一用法:“(在…结束或消失后)继续存在”,如:
5. The machine had outlived its usefulness (= was no longer useful).

7. She will outlast me.
她将比我长寿。(意思为两人都长寿,但她更长寿)
