词语用法
- late的基本意思是“晚的”,可指与规定的、预期的或惯常的时间相比“晚的”“迟的”,也可指在事物本身发展过程中或某一时间单位(如年月)“晚期的”“后期的”。作这两种解释时可在句中作定语,表语,可用于比较级和最高级。late还可指在时间或顺序上的“新近的”“晚期的”。late用在头衔、人名前可作“已退职〔休〕,新近故去的,前任的”解,这时其前通常须加the,在句中常用作定语,没有比较级和最高级形式。 表示“做某事迟了”, late后接(in+) v -ing 。如果动名词后面有宾语, in+ v -ing 形式则可用with代替。在口语中, late可直接跟动名词,省略in。 late用作表语时后接for表示“迟于规定时间做某事”“赶不上做某事”;后接at表示“迟于规定时到达某地”;后接“ in + v -ing ”表示“做某事迟了”;后接of表示“从前”,指从前居住的地方或某人参加的某种组织、协会等。
- late用作副词表示“晚”“迟”,指迟于规定〔预期〕时刻,作此解时没有比较级和最高级。late还可表示“末期地”,指到达或接近某事物的后端。 as late as后跟年月日时,不再加介词。 late用于时间时,表示“不久前”。
常见错误
- Have you read Steinways latest novel?
误 你读过斯坦韦最后的小说吗?
正 你读过斯坦韦的最新小说吗?
析late的最高级latest的意思是“最新的”“最近的”,而不是“最后的”。

正 He withdrew from politics in his later years.
析 当表示“晚年”时,常用它的比较级later。
这件事发生在60年代后期。误 It happened in late 1960s.
正 It happened in the late 1960s.
析 表示“年代”的数字前面须用the,加late后the也不能省略。
叫他开会不要迟到。误 Tell him not to be late at the meeting.
正 Tell him not to be late for the meeting.
他晚到公共汽车站。误 He was late for the bus stop.
正 He was late at the bus stop.
析 “(做某事)迟到”须用be late for,“(到某地)迟到”须用be late at。
- 汤姆上学迟到了,第一节课没赶上。
误 Tom came to school lately and missed the first lesson.
正 Tom came to school late and missed the first lesson.
析late的形容词形式和副词形式相同, lately并不是late的副词形式, lately的意思是“最近,近来”。
