later,latter
这两个字仅差一字之微,词义和使用场合却大相径庭,读音也不一样。
Later/leit+/是形容词late的比较形式,它指时间的先后而言,义:较后的、较新的,它能作形容词,也能作副词。例:
Is it later than eleven?
现在已过了十一点吗?
This dictionary is a later edition.
这本字典的版本是比较新的。
Mr.Liang came later than we had expected.
梁先生来得比我们预期的要晚些。
Well come to see you again later.
我们以后再来看你。
Latter/l$t+/指事物的先后而言,表示后者之意,只能作形容词,不能作副词。例:
The latter half of his essay contains penetrating observations.
他的论文后半部有精辟的看法。
The former is a Hong Kong Island street map and the latter is a Kowloon street map.
前者是一册香港街道图;后者是九龙街道图。
请注意,latter只能用于指两样事物的场合,如指三样或三样以上的东西,应该用 last去指代最后的事物,不能用latter.
Latter的副词是latterly,但此字罕用,一般用lately 或recently代替。latter-day(近代的;现代的)以及his latter end(他的死亡)都是陈旧的用语,现已很少使用。
