Past due常出现在金融有关的语境中,其英文释义为:past the date on which a payment should have been made,即:超过了本应付款的日期。中文里可翻译为:逾期。多见于信用卡还款、偿还贷款相关表述中,如:a past due bill(逾期账单),a past due loan(逾期贷款)。
Cambridge Dictionary将past due的词性划归为形容词(adjective),可见,past due常与系动词连用,或用来修饰名词。见英文例句:Your bill is past due.(你的账单逾期了。)According to the report, 4.3% of all mortgages were 30 days past due.(根据该报告,4.3%的按揭房贷逾期达30天。)It’s a tough job to collect payments on past due loans.(要收回那些逾期的贷款着实不易。)
另外,大家注意在使用中不要把past due误写成passed due。
