今天我们学习一个短语，叫做be behind in sth.

动词你也可以换成fall，介词用with也可以。

所以还可以说be behind with sth.

fall behind in sth.

或者fall behind with sth.

都是一个意思，表达：be late in paying money or completing work

“付款或者完成工作的时候晚了”；

eg: She’s fallen behind with the payments.

她付费迟了。/她付费晚了。/她付费逾期了。

eg: He was terribly behind in his work.

然后在英文中，如果你说be behind sb./sth.或者fall behind sb./sth. 其实指的是“落后于某个人/某个事物的进度”；引出来的是被比较的对象，可能是人，也可能是物；

to make less progress than sb./sth.

eg: Construction work fell behind schedule.
