词语用法

1. due用在词组in due course（依照顺序）和in due time（在适当的时候）中不加定冠词the。in due course of time和in due time意思相同，但用的很少；
2. the amount due to you（欠你的款项）等表达方式里的介词to在美式英语中通常省去；
3. 词组the amount due表示“欠着的款项”，the due amount表示“适当的款项”；
4. due to（由于）只能引导形容词短语，不能引导状语短语。；

   Their delay was due to the bad weather.
   这是正确的说法。

   They delayed due to the bad weather。
   句中该把due改作owing。

5. 口语中有出现due的新结构。

   He is due thanks.
   他应得到感谢。

adj. (形容词)

1. due的意思与义务、责任和债务有关,表示“应得的”时常置于名词前作定语; due作“应付的”解时,常置于名词之后作定语。
2. due也可作“到期应付的”解,这时在句中主要用作表语。
3. due还可作“定于某时到达”解,这时在句中可用作表语,其后常接at〔in〕介词短语。
4. due之后常接动词不定式,意思是“预定某时做某事”。
5. due to是个短语介词,其后接名词或代词,在句中用作表语,意思是“应归于,应属于,应给予”(在美式英语中往往省略be)。也可用作状语,说明谓语动词所表示动作的原因。due to还可用于名词之后作后置定语。
6. due无比较级和最高级。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

be due to, owe...to

• 二者的共同意思是“欠”。其区别是：
• 1.owe是动词; due是形容词。例如:
• She owes ten dollars to her sister.她欠她姐姐10美元。
• Any money that is due to you will be paid before the end of this month.欠你的钱将在这月底之前全部支付给你。
• 2.owe...to常译为“欠某人的债”,用于比喻可表示对“某人负有义务或名誉,功劳应归于…”; 而due一般译为“应付给”,用以表示原因。例如:
• Our grateful thanks are due to the police department for their help in the making of this film.我们由衷感谢警方在制作这部影片的过程中给予我们的帮助。

due to, beause of

• 参见because条。

due to, owing to

• 这两个短语都可作“由于,因为”解。owing to表示的理由有直接性,常用作口语,是介词短语,在句中的位置一般没有限制; due to表示的理由同样带有直接性,但在句中多用作表语。

词源解说

• ☆ 15世纪中叶进入英语，直接源自古法语的deu，意为应得的；最初源自古典拉丁语的debere，意为拖欠。
