"frightened to death"是英语中常见的夸张表达，字面意为"吓得要死"，实际用于描述极度恐惧的状态。该短语包含三个语言要素：
核心动词"frightened"
源自古英语"fyrhtan"，表示使某人突然感到恐惧，程度强于"scared"。剑桥词典将其定义为"突然感到害怕或担忧"。
介词结构"to death"
作为程度补语使用时，该结构最早见于16世纪文学作品中。牛津英语词典指出，这种夸张表达属于"恐怖强化语(terror intensifier)"，通过极端化描述强调情绪强度。
复合语义特征
该短语具有双重语义层次：字面层的"致命恐惧"和实际层的"强烈惊吓"。语言学家Geoffrey Leech在《语义学》中将其归类为"矛盾修辞法(oxymoron)"，通过字面矛盾制造强调效果。
典型用法包括：
需注意与医学用语的区分：实际语境中并不导致生理死亡，但《英国精神病学杂志》曾有案例研究显示，极端恐惧可能引发心源性休克。
"Frightened to death" 是一个英语习语，其含义和用法如下：
字面直译为"被吓死"，但实际使用时并非指生理性死亡，而是通过夸张手法强调极度的恐惧或惊吓。例如：
"雷声突然炸响时，孩子吓得要死（frightened to death）"
"She's frightened to deathof spiders"（她怕蜘蛛怕得要命）
"The horror movie left me frightened to death"
| 强度等级 | 替代说法 | 细微区别 |
|---|---|---|
| 同等强度 | terrified | 更正式 |
| 更强 | petrified | 强调因恐惧无法动弹 |
| 较弱 | scared stiff | 侧重身体僵硬的反应 |
该表达与汉语"吓破胆""魂飞魄散"有相似修辞效果，但英语中类似结构还有：
在正式写作中建议改用"extremely frightened"，日常交流或文学描写中使用则能增强表现力。注意避免对刚经历创伤者使用，可能显得不够敏感。
