问题解答:

我来补答
alive、live、living都有“活的、有生命的”意思,与dead意义相反.但live通常只作前置定语,且一般用于动物;alive、living不仅可作定语(alive只能置于名词后;living一般置于名词前,也可置于名词后),也可以作表语.
如:
This is a live(=living) fish.(=This is a fish alive.)
这是一条活鱼.(指动物,且作定语时,三者均可用)
Who's the greatest man alive(=living man)?
谁是当今最伟大的人物?(指人,不能用live)
The fish is still alive(=living)
那条鱼还活着.(指动物作表语时不能用live).
⑶living主要指在某个时候是活着的,而alive指本来有死的可能,但仍活着的.而且,作主语补足语或宾语补足语时,只能用alive;作比喻义(如“活像...”、“活生生的”等)解时,要用living.
如:
The enemy officer was caught alive.(作主语补足语,不用living)
那位敌方军官被活捉了.
We found the snake alive.(作宾语补足语,不用living)
He is the living image of his father.(比喻义,不用alive)
他活象他父亲.
⑷只有living前加the方可表示“活着的人”,作主语时,视作复数.
如:
The living are more important to us than the dead.
活着的人对我们来说比死去的人更重要.
