    小知识

    People owe things when they're in debt to someone. A friend can owe you a favor, and your employer owes you a paycheck.

    When you talk about owing, it has to do with what someone deserves from someone else. If you borrow library books, you owe them to the library after a few weeks. When you take out a loan, you owe that money to the bank. You can also owe favors and more abstract things. If a friend did something bad to you, but they've been your friend a long time, you probably owe them a second chance.

    词语辨析
    owe…to,be due to二者的共同意思是“欠”。
    其区别是：
    1.owe是动词；due是形容词。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.欠你的钱将在这月底之前全部支付给你。
    2.owe…to常译为“欠某人的债”，用于比喻可表示对“某人负有义务或名誉，功劳应归于…”；而due一般译为“应付给”，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.我们由衷感谢警方在制作这部影片的过程中给予我们的帮助。
