是否是形容词引导的定语后置成分

Some people don’t know the courtesies due an old man.

due an old man 是后置定语,由形容词 due 引导。这样理解对吗?

谢邀答。是的,理解是对的,due an old man是形容词短语作后置定语,修饰courtesies

查查字典就可以解决的:due这个词当“应得的,应有的”这层意思讲的时候是个表语形容词。

“某人应得某物”,可以说sb is due for sth,也可以省掉for,直接说sb is due sth,如:An old man is due (for) courtesies. 同样,“某物是某人应得的”,可以说sth is due to sb,也可以省掉to,直接说sth is due sb. 如:Courtesies are due (to) an old man.

Some people don’t know the courtesies due an old man.=Some people don’t know the courtesies (that are) due (to) an old man.
