关于later的用法及解释

小钿分享

  late在初中英语中是比较重点的一个单词,也是常考知识点之一,它的用法很容易混淆。接下来小编在这里给大家带来later的用法,我们一起来看看吧!

  later的用法

  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。

  later的相关解释
