46. It isn't due until Thursday morning.
点睛
本句的难点在于对due的理解,它最常见的短语due to,意为“因为”,但是本句中due的意思为“到期,截止”。事实上,due的含义十分丰富:“欠债的”。如:
The amount still due is 5,000 pounds. 仍欠付的款额是5000英镑。
“适当的”。如:
We should pay him with all due respect. 我们应该给他适当的尊重。
“充分的”。如:
We have due cause to honor them. 我们有充分的理由给予他们荣誉。
“预计的”。如:
Their train is due in 15 minutes. 他们的火车预计在15分钟后到达。
“被期望的”。如:
He finally got a long due promotion. 他终于得到了盼望已久的晋升。
