问题 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”。
