Eg. "John's marriage failure and the bankruptcy of his business combined to make him take the macabre decision to end it all."
To'end it all' is a euphemism for 'take one's own life'.
【例文】
John's marriage failure and the bankruptcy of his business combined to make him take the macabre decision to end it all.
[結婚](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/36367/)の[失敗](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/36497/)やビジネスの破綻が重なり、ジョンは自ら命を絶つ決断をした。
「end it all」は「take one's own life(自殺する)」の婉曲表現です。
The act of killing oneself is to "commit suicide". You could also say someone "killed themselves".
For example:
"Kurt Cobain committed suicide"
"They killed themselves"
自殺することは「commit suicide」で表せます。
ほかに「kill oneself」という言い方もあります。
例文:
Kurt Cobain committed suicide.
(カート・コバーンが自殺した。)
They killed themselves.
(彼らは自殺した。)
"The man took his own life." (Took = Past Tense)
"It is a tragedy when an individual feels it is necessary to end one's life."
The man took his own life. (Took = 過去形)
(男性が自殺しました。)
It is a tragedy when an individual feels it is necessary to end one's life.
(誰かが自殺する必要を感じたら、それは悲劇だ。)
This one noun, 'suicide' says it all. This is an act of taking one's own life, killing oneself intentionally or willfully. When one does that, it is said that he/she has committed 'suicide'. The verb to 'commit' in this context means to 'perpetrate or carry out (a mistake, crime, or immoral act)'. In this case, he/she would have carried out an immoral act. So, if you know of someone who has done such an act, you may say to a colleague:
He/she committed suicide and left a suicide note.
or
He/she was in serious financial trouble and decided to commit suicide.
"suicide"(自殺)という一つの単語だけですべてを表します。
この言葉は、自分自身で命を絶つこと、意思をもって自分自身を殺すことを意味します。
"committed suicide"というフレーズにすると、「自殺をした」という行動を表します。
'commit' はこの場合、(間違い、犯罪、モラルに反する行動を)犯すという意訳です。もし誰かがそのようなことをした場合には下記のように言うことができます。
He/she committed suicide and left a suicide note.
(彼/彼女は自殺をし、遺書をのこした。)
He/she was in serious financial trouble and decided to commit suicide.(彼/彼女は経済的にとても困っていて自殺をすることにした。)
Suicide is the act of taking ones own life. It is illegal to do so in the UK, but of course this does not stop people from doing it when they are feeling very depressed and down or in a difficult situation.
