    Arrears are amounts of money that you owe, especially regular payments that you should have made earlier.

arrears

    e.g. They have promised to pay the arrears over the next five years...
           他們保證在隨后的5年內(nèi)償付逾期債款。
    e.g. These 50,000 arrears cases represent a tiny fraction of all home owners.
           這5萬(wàn)個(gè)欠款案例只代表所有業(yè)主中的一小部分人。

2. 拖欠（付款）
    If someone is in arrears with their payments, or has got into arrears, they have not paid the regular amounts of money that they should have paid.

    e.g. ...the 300,000 households who are more than six months in arrears with their mortgages.
           拖欠抵押貸款超過(guò)6個(gè)月的30萬(wàn)戶(hù)家庭
    e.g. ...debtor countries which fall into arrears with the banks.
           拖欠銀行貸款的債務(wù)國(guó)

3. （工資等）后付的
    If sums of money such as wages or taxes are paid in arrears, they are paid at the end of the period of time to which they relate, for example after a job has been done and the wages have been earned.

    e.g. Unemployment benefit is paid fortnightly in arrears.
           失業(yè)救濟(jì)金延后兩個(gè)星期支付。

4. （體育比賽中成績(jī)或比分）落后的
    If someone is in arrears in a sports match or race, they are not winning, because they have a lower score or slower time than other competitors.

    e.g. Davies finished almost two seconds in arrears for third place.
           戴維斯落后了差不多兩秒，獲得第三名。
