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。
