46. It isn't due until Thursday morning.
點(diǎn)睛
本句的難點(diǎn)在于對due的理解,它最常見的短語due to,意為“因?yàn)?rdquo;,但是本句中due的意思為“到期,截止”。事實(shí)上,due的含義十分豐富:
“欠債的”。如:
The amount still due is 5,000 pounds. 仍欠付的款額是5000英鎊。
“適當(dāng)?shù)?rdquo;。如:
We should pay him with all due respect. 我們應(yīng)該給他適當(dāng)?shù)淖鹬亍?br />
“充分的”。如:
We have due cause to honor them. 我們有充分的理由給予他們榮譽(yù)。
“預(yù)計(jì)的”。如:
Their train is due in 15 minutes. 他們的火車預(yù)計(jì)在15分鐘后到達(dá)。
“被期望的”。如:
He finally got a long due promotion. 他終于得到了盼望已久的晉升。
