late的词语用法是: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。late的详尽释义是adj.(形容词)已故的;去世不久的前任的,不久前才卸任的晚期的;接近末期的迟的,迟到的晚的最近的,新的近深夜的,近日暮的刚到的晚年的后期的迟发生的,迟做的。late比较级:later;最高级:latest;名词:lateness。

七、词义辨析
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。
- 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。
adv.(副词)- late, lately, of late, recently
- 这是一组同根词,都表示时间的“迟”“晚”“近”。其区别是:
- late的意思是“迟”“晚”,反义词是early;lately的意思是“不久前”“最近”,即not long ago;of late的意思是“最近以来”,强调时间持续的过程;recently的意思是“最近”“近来”,比lately和of late更加庄重。例如:
- We went to bed late.我们很晚才上床睡觉。
- Have you been there lately?你近来到那里去过吗?
- He has been behaving strangely of late.他近来的行为一直很古怪。
- I have seen him quite recently.我最近见过他。
