You can think of arrears as the money that is walking behind the clock. Payments sit on a calendar, one to a date, and the money is supposed to arrive on the square where it belongs. Arrears is what is left standing behind those squares. Usually that is because a payment was missed, but the same picture also fits money that was always meant to come afterwards.

arrears 可以想成「走在時間後面的那些錢」。付款像月曆上一格一格的日子,每一格都有一筆錢該到位。沒到位的,就留在後面。那一堆留在後面的錢,就是 arrears。多數時候是因為漏付了。不過同一個畫面也裝得下另一種情況:錢本來就講好要走在後面,等時間過完才付。
