settle up

Hi there,students. Today we are going to look at the phrasal verb 'to settle up'. To settle up for something with somebody. O, to settle, we can use to mean to pay a bill, to settle a bill. But we use settle up meaning the same idea to pay what you owe. Maybe different people who put different amount of money into a common fund and it needs to be distributed in the right way, you settle up. Do you think you can lend me 10 pounds and I will settle up at the end of week, I will pay you at the end of the week. Ok, so you've done several jobs for me, but I can't pay you yet. Could we settle up in a couple of weeks, could I pay you, could we work out exactly what I owe you, how much I owe. Yeah, it's time to go home and leave the restaurant. I'd better settle up for our meal with the waiter, ok, to settle up. Yeah, to settle up, to pay a debt, to pay a debt (of you??). So in times of crisis, people are very bad at settling up their bills, yeah. Ok, to pay, to pay what you owe, to pay someone what you owe, to pay, you share of something. Particularly to someone or to a group or to an organization. If somebody has done something for you, you need to settle up , to pay, ok. so (it is make payment???). Notice, without the for something and with somebody, it's normally intransitive. So it's time to settle up, it's time to pay, intranstive. You want to make it transitive settle up for something with somebody, ok. So maybe (at the end of month and time to settle up???). Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. If you did, give it a rating, subscribe to my channel and I wil see you soon. Bye for now.


各位!今天我們來看看動詞短語to settle up。to settle up for something with somebody。to settle,我們可以用來表示支付一張賬單,to settle a bill, 我們用to settle up來表述同樣的意思,即支付你所欠的東西。或許人們會將不同數額的資金存入共同基金,然後需要用正確的方式去分發,這就是to settle up。你可不可以借給我100磅?我會在周末settle it up, 在周末清還。你幫我做了幾件事,但我目前無法支付你費用,我可以在幾星期內付錢給你嗎?我們可以仔細算出究竟我欠你多少錢嗎?到了回家並離開餐廳的時間,我需要和侍應結清賬單。to settle up, 去清償債務,在經濟危機時期,大家的償債能力都很差。to settle up,就是支付你所欠下的錢。支付他人你所欠下錢,承擔你應分擔的債務,特別是針對某人或一群人或是某個機構。如果某人幫你做了一件事,你應該to settle up, 你應該償付費用。如果不用for something和with somebody, 通常to settle up 屬於不及物動詞。所以,是settle up的時間了,是付賬的時間了,此處是及物動詞。如果你想令到其變成及物動詞,可以在後面用to settle up for something with somebody。也許月底是支付賬單的時間了。好了,如果你喜歡這個錄像,留下一個‘喜歡’評級;訂閱我的頻道,我將很快和你又見面。
