adj.(形容詞)

late的基本意思是“晚的”,可指與規定的、預期的或慣常的時間相比“晚的”“遲的”,也可指在事物本身發展過程中或某一時間單位(如年月)“晚期的”“后期的”。作這兩種解釋時可在句中作定語,表語,可用于比較級和最高級。late還可指在時間或順序上的“新近的”“晚期的”。late用在頭銜、人名前可作“已退職〔休〕,新近故去的,前任的”解,這時其前通常須加the,在句中常用作定語,沒有比較級和最高級形式。

表示“做某事遲了”, late后接(in+) v -ing 。如果動名詞后面有賓語, in+ v -ing 形式則可用with代替。在口語中, late可直接跟動名詞,省略in。

late用作表語時后接for表示“遲于規定時間做某事”“趕不上做某事”;后接at表示“遲于規定時到達某地”;后接“ in + v -ing ”表示“做某事遲了”;后接of表示“從前”,指從前居住的地方或某人參加的某種組織、協會等。

adv.(副詞)

late用作副詞表示“晚”“遲”,指遲于規定〔預期〕時刻,作此解時沒有比較級和最高級。late還可表示“末期地”,指到達或接近某事物的后端。

as late as后跟年月日時,不再加介詞。

late用于時間時,表示“不久前”。

adj.(形容詞)

late, latter

這兩個詞的共同意思是“較晚的”“較后的”。其區別是：

1.late指在一個具體時間之后;而latter指一段時間或一個時期的“后一半的”“接近終了的”,還可以指在時間或順序上的“后者的”“近來的”。例如:

She returned in the late afternoon.她下午很晚才返回來。

He mentioned it in the latter part of his speech.他在演講的后面提到了它。

2.late只能用于時間;latter則除了可以用于時間外,還可以用于順序。例如:

The train was ten minutes late.那趟火車晚了10分鐘。

Of the pig and the cow, the latter is more valuable.豬和牛相比,后者更有價值。

3.latter只能用于名詞之前作定語,而late還可用作表語。

adv.(副詞)

last, latest

這兩個詞都是late的最高級。其區別是：

在正式用法中, last表示“順序上的最后”;而latest則表示“時間上的最近”。例如:

This is his latest book,I hope it's not his last.這是他最近的著作,我希望這不是他的最后著作。

adj.(形容詞)Have you read Steinway's latest novel?

誤

你讀過斯坦韋最后的小說嗎?

正

你讀過斯坦韋的最新小說嗎?

析

late的最高級latest的意思是“最新的”“最近的”,而不是“最后的”。
他在晚年退出了政界。

誤

He withdrew from politics in his late years.

正

He withdrew from politics in his later years.

析

當表示“晚年”時,常用它的比較級later。
這件事發生在60年代后期。

誤

It happened in late 1960s.

正

析

表示“年代”的數字前面須用the,加late后the也不能省略。

誤

Tell him not to be late at the meeting.

正

Tell him not to be late for the meeting.
他晚到公共汽車站。

誤

正

析

“(做某事)遲到”須用be late for,“(到某地)遲到”須用be late at。
adv.(副詞)湯姆上學遲到了,第一節課沒趕上。

誤

Tom came to school lately and missed the first lesson.

正

Tom came to school late and missed the first lesson.

析

late的形容詞形式和副詞形式相同, lately并不是late的副詞形式, lately的意思是“最近,近來”。
