Body is a gentler word to use than corpse. It reminds you that this was once a person who was alive, possibly sb that you knew. Corpse is a more direct and unpleasant word; it is used especially when you do not know or do not care who the dead person was, or when you want to make the reality of death more shocking. * body比corpse语气温和，提醒你那人曾经活着，可能你还认识。corpse更直接冷酷。当你不认识或不在意死者是谁，或者想使死亡这个事实更加触目惊心时，尤用corpse。■ carcass (BrE also , less frequent carcase) /ˈkɑːkəs; NAmE ˈkɑːrkəs/ [countable] the dead body of an animal, especially of a large one or of one that is ready for cutting up as meat 动物尸体；（尤指供食用的）畜体◆There were vultures scavenging for carcasses on the road.兀鹫在啄食路上的动物尸体。◆She boiled up the chicken carcass (= the bones of a cooked chicken) to make soup.她用鸡骨头煮汤。■ remains [plural] (rather formal) the body of a dead person or animal, especially sb/sth that has been dead for a long time （尤指已死去很久的人或动物的）遗体，遗骸◆human remains人的遗骸◆The remains have been identified as those of a Mr Thomas, who lived in Richmond.那具遗骸已被辨认出是住在里士满的叫托马斯的男人。 |
