英語中，pass out 和 pass away 是兩個較為相似的詞組，但是它們的意思並不相同，今天我們一起來學習一下。
1. pass out：意為「昏倒」，指還沒有死亡。
例句1：You would pass out if you took one more drink.
要是你再喝一杯的話，你就會醉倒了。
例句2：A man passed out on the road last night.
昨晚有一個人在路中暈倒了。
例句3：She was in pain. She was very tired and I felt like she might pass out or something like this.
她很痛苦。她非常疲憊，我以為她可能會昏倒或什麼的。
2. pass away：意為「死亡」，即去世的意思。與pass out 不同。
例句4：When did Tom pass away?
湯姆是什麼時候去世的？
例句5：Everything is sure to pass away.
任何事情都一定會過去。
例句6：It was the first time that I found life could so easily pass away.
那是我第一次發現原來生命可以這樣容易的逝去。
由以上分析可見，pass away 和 pass out 的意思有很大的不同，希望大家在應用中不要弄混淆。
