📖 基本释义

[verb] (of sums of money or benefits) be received by someone in regular or increasing amounts over time
[动词] (指金钱或利益的款项)被人定期地或随着时间推移不断增加地收到


💡 深入解读

Accrue 一词源自拉丁语accrescere(增加、逐渐增长、变得更大),15世纪经古法语acreue(增加、增长、增长物)进入英语后,即用作动词表示逐渐“增加、增长”,常作正式用语搭配 accrue (to sb) (from sth) 使用,主要指金钱、利益、利息以及债务、支出等定期或者随着时间推移自然增长、积累而产生或形成,

比如:

tangible economic benefits accruing to the country from tourism旅游业为该国带来的切实经济效益

The interim government refused to sanction a further cut in interest rates. Currently, interest will accrue on the account at a rate of three percent.过渡政府拒绝批准进一步降息。目前账户上的存款将会以3%的利率生息。

The moribund company had accrued debts of over $6m.该词也可以用作及物动词使用,相应表示“使……逐渐增加”,也是指在一段时间内使金钱、利益、利息以及债务、支出等逐渐增加,比如:该行将倒闭的公司已积欠了超过600万美元的债务。

Eisgruber)在2018年毕业典礼上发表的题为“The Value of a College Degree”的演讲。同近义词
