46. It isn't due until Thursday morning.

點睛

本句的難點在于對due的理解，它最常見的短語due to，意為“因為”，但是本句中due的意思為“到期，截止”。事實上，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。
“預(yù)計的”。如：
Their train is due in 15 minutes. 他們的火車預(yù)計在15分鐘后到達。
“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。
