Question

—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

Answer 1

A

解析:

考查介詞。第一空填to比較好理解，因為此處的late為副詞，用以修飾 go to the stadium

中的動詞go；而第二句的 with 則是許多同學(xué)不容易想到的，相反，更多地可能是想到 for，

現(xiàn)將兩者區(qū)別如下：be late for表示做某事遲到，而be late with 表示做某事做晚了(=be late in doing sth)。比較：

We were late for dinner. 我們吃飯遲到了。

We were late with dinner [=in having dinner]. 我們吃飯吃得遲。

句中 my wife was a little late with the supper 的意思是“我妻子準(zhǔn)備晚飯稍遲了一點”。
