pass away 去世

You can say that someone passed away to mean that they died, if you want to avoid using the word “die” because you think it might upset or offend people.

英语母语人士点评：

“Pass away” is a euphemism for “die”, which means it’s an indirect, less harsh way of saying “die”. They mean the exact same thing, though.

“Pass away”是“die”的委婉说法，它是“die”的间接说法，不那么刺耳。但它们的意思是一样的。
