选择题
—You went late _______ the stadium yesterday evening, didn’t you?
—Yes, my wife was a little late _______ the supper.
A.to, with
B.for, with
C.for, for
D.at, for
答案
答案:A
考查介词。第一空填to比较好理解,因为此处的late为副词,用以修饰 go to the stadium
中的动词go;而第二句的 with 则是许多同学不容易想到的,相反,更多地可能是想到 for,
现将两者区别如下:be late for表示做某事迟到,而be late with 表示做某事做晚了(="be" late in doing sth)。比较:
We were late for dinner. 我们吃饭迟到了。
We were late with dinner [="in" having dinner]. 我们吃饭吃得迟。
句中 my wife was a little late with the supper 的意思是“我妻子准备晚饭稍迟了一点”。
