be late for还是be late withbe 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, didn’t you?

” “Yes, my wife was a little late _______ the supper.

”A.

to, with B.

for, withC.

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”。
