be supposed to + 动词
【应该……;本来应该……;按计划应该……】
That $100 was supposed to go toward next month's bill here.
That $100 was supposed to go toward next month's bill here. (that one hundred dollars was supposed to go toward next month's bill here)
这句话可以理解为:
那100美元本来是要用来支付这里下个月的账单的。
重点:be supposed to
be supposed to + 动词
👉 应该……;本来应该……;按计划应该……
这里用了过去式:
was supposed to
= 本来应该…… / 原本是打算……
例如:
This money was supposed to pay the rent.
这笔钱本来是用来付房租的。
go toward
go toward something
👉 用于……;拿来支付……的一部分
所以:
go toward next month's bill
= 用于支付下个月的账单
例如:
This money will go toward my tuition.
这笔钱将用于支付我的学费。
The $50 will go toward the repair.
这50美元会用于支付维修费用。
整句拆解
That $100
= 那100美元
was supposed to
= 本来应该 / 原本打算
go toward
= 用于……
next month's bill
= 下个月的账单
here
= 这里 / 这边
所以非常自然地说:
那100美元本来是要留着付这里下个月的账单的。
这里的 was supposed to 很值得记住,因为它在美剧和日常口语中非常常见。
