高一英语语法惯用法:be late for还是be late with  be late后是搭配介词for还是with?
请看下面这一道题:   You went late _______ the stadium yesterday evening, didnt 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。
遥空填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。
