due 的音标为英 /djuː/、美 /duː/,核心含义围绕“应有的”“到期的”“预定的”三大方向展开,在不同语境中可作形容词、名词或副词使用,是英语中高频且多义的词汇[2][3]。

一、核心含义与用法

1. 形容词:到期的;预定的

表示“到期需支付/完成”或“按计划发生”,常与时间搭配或用于被动结构。

到期的:指债务、任务、物品归还等期限已至。

The bank loan is due this month.(银行贷款本月到期。)

When is this book due back?(这本书的归还期限是什么时候?)

预定的:表示事件按计划发生,后接时间或不定式。

Phil's train is due at 7:00 p.m.(菲尔的火车下午七点到站。)

The novel's English version is due for publication next year.(这部小说的英译本预定明年出版。)

2. 形容词:应有的;应得的

强调“按权利或义务应获得的”,可修饰抽象概念如尊重、报酬等。

She asked no more than her due.(她只要求应得的东西。)

The BBC must ensure due impartiality in news programmes.(英国广播公司需确保新闻节目保持应有的公正。)

3. 名词:应得物;会费

指“应得的权益或报酬”,或组织中的“会费”。

He received a large reward, which was no more than his due.(他得到的巨额奖金不过是应得的。)

Paul hasn't paid his dues yet.(保罗还没交会费。)

4. 副词:正向地

表示方向“正对着”,多用于书面语。

The ship sailed due north.(船正向北航行。)

二、高频短语搭配

1. due to:由于;因为

后接名词或名词短语,解释原因,可作表语或状语(正式语境中更常用)。

The delay was due to bad weather.(延误是由于恶劣天气。)

Due to his carelessness, the project was delayed.(由于他的粗心,项目被延期了。)
⚠️ 注意:与 because of 的区别在于,当“结果”是名词时只能用 due to(如 The accident is due to his mistake.),句子结果时两者可互换。

2. in due course:在适当时候

指“按计划在合适的时间发生”。

You will get the result in due course.(你会在适当时候收到结果。)

3. with all due respect:恕我直言

用于表达不同意见时的礼貌开场白,字面意为“出于应有的尊重”。

With all due respect, I disagree with your plan.(恕我直言,我不同意你的计划。)

三、实用例句

到期与预定

When is the assignment due?(作业什么时候交?)— It's due tomorrow.(明天。)

The baby is due at the end of the month.(宝宝预计月底出生。)

原因与结果

应得与权益
