For example, what is the meaning of 'credit' in 'tax credit' and 'in credit'? Does 'credit' mean money here? Li: 谢谢李斌同学.是的, 一说到 credit 这个词,人们经常会想到信用卡 credit card. 不过作为名词这个词还有很多不同的含义.下面我们通过各种例句来说明.Number 1: 信用,信誉和信用额度. Examples My husband has a good credit history, so we are able to get the mortgage. It is not always a good thing if your credit limit is high, as you may get into debt if you are not careful. Li: 第一句话里的女子说她丈夫信用记录好,所以他们拿到了购房按揭贷款.Credit history 一个人的信贷历史. 第二句话里的讲话者提醒另一个人说,信用卡的额度太高未必是件好事,稍不注意就会 花得太多,欠下账还不了. 还有一种情况是超过限定的信用额度 credit limit,那么债务人要支付罚款. Example I got a letter from my bank reminding me that I have exceeded my credit limit, and I will have to pay a penalty charge. Li: Oh dear - he has to pay a penalty charge! 因为超过了限定的信用额度,因此要 交罚款. Number 2: 在英国生活,大家经常听到的一个短语 tax credit 意思是 "抵税额" - a sum of money that is paid to you from the government. 英国政府对各种抵税 额又详细的条列,比如 working tax credit, child tax credit 等等.
