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。

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。
