英語快樂風又吹來了,大家好,歡迎回來,收聽并學習Faith口語課堂-天天學,我是Faith老師。在我的課堂上,有英語學,還有英文歌聽,你們開心嗎?
今天講一個特別好的詞,用法也相當廣泛:due, 尤其在口語對話中,你可能會經(jīng)常用到這個詞,下面一一介紹:
首先,作為一個形容詞,"due"有"當付的","應付給的","預期的"的意思:

The flight to Beijing is due at 1:30. 到北京的這趟航班預期1:30到達。
"due"作為一個名詞(僅用單數(shù)),意思是"應得之物","應付之款","應繳之費"等:
Offer your employees their due. 給你的員工們他們應得的。
I've got lots of due to make this week. 我這個星期有很多開支要支付。
Are you able to cover all the due resulting from studying abroad? 你有能力支付在國外學習的各項費用嗎?
最后,介紹這個最常用的詞組:"due to",意思是"由于","起因于",相當于"owing to":
