incurred + noun phrase (cost, debt, loss, penalty, anger)

用法筆記

The object is almost always something negative: a cost, debt, loss, penalty, fine, injury, wrath, or criticism. Common in formal, financial, and legal contexts. Unlike 'suffer', 'incur' emphasises that the person's own action caused the consequence.
