"debt" in Chinese (Traditional)

• 債務

Definition

指你欠別人、銀行或公司的錢。它也可以表示你覺得自己應該因別人的幫助而表示感激或回報對方。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

常見搭配有 'in debt'、'pay off a debt'、'get into debt' 和 'debt crisis'。'Debt' 在泛指時常作不可數名詞用，如 'He has a lot of debt'；說具體一筆筆欠款時可用 'debts'。不要和 'loan' 混淆：'loan' 是借來的款項，'debt' 是你所欠的錢。
