deathbed 指一個人臨終時所躺的床鋪,特指生命最後時刻所處的狀态或場景。其核心含義包含兩個緊密相關的層面:
字面物理場所: 指病人或垂死之人躺卧的床。這個定義強調其作為生命終結地點的具體位置屬性。例如:“The family gathered around his deathbed.”(家人聚集在他的臨終床前。)
象征臨終時刻: 更常用且重要的是其引申義,指代一個人瀕臨死亡、生命垂危的最後階段或時刻。它超越了具體的床鋪,象征着生命即将結束的關鍵時期。例如:“On her deathbed, she confessed the secret.”(她在臨終之際坦白了那個秘密。)或 “A deathbed conversion”(指在臨終時改變信仰或皈依宗教)。
