2013高考英语备考：belatefor还是belatewith be late后是搭配介词for还是with?请看下面这一道题： “You went late _______ the stadium yesterday evening, didn’t you?” “Yes, my wife was a little late _______ the supper.” A. to, with B. for, with C. for, for D. at, for 【陷阱】容易误选 B 或D。 【分析】答案应选 A。第一空填to 比较好理解，因为此处的late为副词，用以修饰 go to the stadium 中的动词go;而第二句的 with 则是许多同学不容易想到的，相反，更多地可能是想到 for，现将两者区别如下：be late for表示做某事迟到，而be late with 表示做某事做晚了(=be late in doing sth)。比较： We were late for dinner. 我们吃饭迟到了。 We were late with dinner [=in having dinner]. 我们吃饭吃得迟。 句中 my wife was a little late with the supper 的意思是“我妻子准备晚饭稍迟了一点”。 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/559d433574232f60ddccda38376baf1ffd4fe308.html
