初中英语--later和late的区别,later和late的用法归纳总结 一、late的用法归纳 1. 表示“迟”“晚”,可用作形容词和副词。如: She told me that she would be late. 她告诉我她会迟到。 He arrived late because of the storm. 因为暴风雨他迟到了。 He came in the late afternoon [late in the afternoon]. 他傍晚才来。 注意,不要认为 lately 是 late 的副词形式。 2. 用于 be late (in) doing sth 或 be late with sth, 意为“做某事做晚了或做迟了”。如: He was late (in) getting up this morning. 今天早上他起床起得迟。 We were late with lunch [in having lunch] today. 我们今天午饭吃得迟。 比较:be late for 意为“做……迟到”。如: I’ve never been late for work. 我上班从来没迟到过。 Hurry up, or you’ll be late for school. 赶快,否则你上学就要迟到了。 3. 表示迟到多久,一般用“一段时间+late”。如: The train was five minutes late. 火车晚点了5分钟。 The bus arrived ten minutes late. 公共汽车迟到了10分钟。 Bill finally rolled up two hours late. 比尔终于来了,迟到了两个小时。 二、later的用法归纳 1. 用作形容词和副词 late 的比较级。如: It’s rather later than I thought. 这比我想的还要晚。 He left home later than usual. 他比平常还晚离家。 2. 用于一段具体时间之后,表示从过去或将来算起的多长时间以后,但通常不指从现在算起的多久以后。如: 误:I’ll call again a week later.(可改为…in a week) 正:I called again a week later. 一周后我又打了电话。 正:I’ll call her on March 5 and will call again a week later. 我将在3月5日给她打个电话,过一周后我将再打个电话。 但是later单独使用(即不连用具体时间),可以表示从现在算起的“以后”(具有泛指意义)。如: Let’s stop now and finish it later. 现在停下来,以后再完成它。 He may be busy, in which case I’ll call later. 他可能忙,如若如此,我以后再来拜访。 3. 用于 later on,表示“以后”“后来”,可用于过去或将来。如: We’ll discuss the matter later on. 我们以后将讨论这件事。 Later on he realized his mistake. 后来他认识到了自己的错误。 4. sooner or later 为习语,意为“迟早”,注意其词序不能倒过来。如: You’ll know the truth sooner or later. 你迟早会知道真相的。 Sooner or later you’ll have to make a decision. 你早晚得拿个主意。 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/d3b4ce6b75232f60ddccda38376baf1ffd4fe349.html
