修改原因
修改前It was so hot on the underground that a woman passed away, but a doctor helped her and she was soon fine.
修改后It was so hot on the underground that a woman passed out, but a doctor helped her and she was soon fine.
Pass away 是表示“去世”的委婉说法。两个短语只差后一个词,却会完全改变意思:原句成了那位女士去世后又恢复了。要描述她在闷热中晕倒,应使用 passed out。
医学记录或正式信件里,lose consciousness 更合适:The patient lost consciousness for about a minute。Faint 也表示晕厥,常用于高温、虚弱或害怕等情境。Pass out 的范围更广,也可描述头部受击后失去意识。

查看答案
passed out — 题目描述的是一天没吃东西、起身过快后短暂失去意识,因此选 passed out。Passed away 表示去世,不符合随后恢复的短暂昏厥情境。
描述一次有人因高温、饥饿或疼痛而不适的经历。说明发生地点,以及后来怎样恢复意识。
On a crowded bus last July, an elderly man passed out from the heat, and we gave him water until he came round.
