late的例句是:用作形容词(adj.)I'm afraid I may be a little late.恐怕我可能稍晚一点。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的意思是adj.迟的;晚的;末期的;最近的;已故的;adv.晚;迟。
