詞語辨析
owe...to,be due to二者的共同意思是“欠”。
其區別是:
1.owe是動詞;due是形容詞。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.欠你的錢將在這月底之前全部支付給你。
2.owe...to常譯為“欠某人的債”,用于比喻可表示對“某人負有義務或名譽,功勞應歸于…”;而due一般譯為“應付給”,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.我們由衷感謝警方在制作這部影片的過程中給予我們的幫助。
