adj.(形容词)

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。

adv.(副词)

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”。

adj.(形容词)

late, latter

这两个词的共同意思是“较晚的”“较后的”。其区别是：

1.late指在一个具体时间之后;而latter指一段时间或一个时期的“后一半的”“接近终了的”,还可以指在时间或顺序上的“后者的”“近来的”。例如:

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

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

2.late只能用于时间;latter则除了可以用于时间外,还可以用于顺序。例如:

The train was ten minutes late.那趟火车晚了10分钟。

Of the pig and the cow, the latter is more valuable.猪和牛相比,后者更有价值。

3.latter只能用于名词之前作定语,而late还可用作表语。

adv.(副词)

last, latest

这两个词都是late的最高级。其区别是：

在正式用法中, last表示“顺序上的最后”;而latest则表示“时间上的最近”。例如:

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

adj.(形容词)Have you read Steinway's 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”。
他在晚年退出了政界。

误

He withdrew from politics in his late years.

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。

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

析

“(做某事)迟到”须用be late for,“(到某地)迟到”须用be late at。
adv.(副词)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”。
