2013高考英语经典陷阱题大串讲·介词类
1. “You went late _________ the stadium yesterda y 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
【陷阱】容易误选 B 或D。
【分析】答案应选 A。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”。
