die from和die of区别

表示死的原因，die后通常接介词 of/from, 其区别大致为：

(1) 若死因存在于人体之上或之内（主要指疾病、衰老等自身的原因)，一般用介词 of。如：die of illness (heart trouble, cancer, a fever, etc) 死于疾病 (心脏病，癌症，发烧等)

(2) 若死因不是存在人体之内或之上，而是由环境造成的(主要指事故等方面的外部原因)，一般用介词 from。如：die from an earthquake (a traffic accident, a lightning, a stroke, etc) 死于地震(交通事故，雷击等)

(3) 若死因是环境影响到体内，即两方面共有的原因，则可用 of, from 均可。如：die of [from] a drink ( a wound, overwork, starvation, hunger and cold, etc) 死于饮酒(受伤，劳累过度，饥饿，饥寒等)

但是在实际运用中，两者混用的情况较多。
