3 by the 4th day after the due date 是什么意思

If it is not turned in by the 4th day after the due date, it will earn a zero.

此句摘自2022年高考英语新全国卷1的阅读理解A篇。

请问句子如何翻译? 尤其是 by the 4th day after the due date 是什么意思?

介词 by 表示时间的用法:

介词 by 表示时间时意思是“不迟于”(not later than),其言外之意就是要“早于”(before)。如:

She had promised to be back by five o'clock. 她答应过五点前回来。

The application must be in by the 31st to be accepted. 申请必须在31号之前寄到才会被接受。

By the time I got to the station the train had already gone. 等我到达火车站时,火车已经开走了。(即火车在我们到达火车站之前就开走了)

所以网友的句子意思是:

If it is not turned in by the 4th day after the due date, it will earn a zero.

如果超过规定时间4天仍未上交,将会得零分。
