    小知识

    Later is a way to talk about time: some time after now. You can go to a movie later tonight.

    Later can also mean more recent, as in “Which is the later movie, Gone with the Wind or Citizen Kane?” It can mean toward the end: “He made that movie later in his career.” It can also mean after, as in “You were later than I thought you'd be!” It can also be used in comparison: “He was late; I was later.” All these uses are about time, and how time keeps moving on from now to later.

    单词用法

    词语辨析
    later,afterwards这两个词在表示“一段时间后”(at a later time)时可通用,但在与一段具体的时间连用时只用later,不用afterwards。例如:不能说He fell ill on Monday and died three days afterwards.而应说He fell ill on Monday and died three days later.他星期一患病,三天后就死了。

    来自later的比较级形式。
    单词解说
    later是副词,意思是“较晚地”“后来”,常用于书面语中。
    later常与一个表示具体时间的名词连用,指从过去或将来某一时间算起的“…后”“…之后”“过了…”。如果单独使用,即其前不加“若干时间”,则可以用来表示“从现在算起以后”。
    重要短语

    sooner or later 迟早,早晚

    同义词辨析

    afterward(s), later

    这两个副词均有”后来,以后”之意。

    • afterward(s)与later的不同之处有两点。 1.afterwards指一整段时间之后,一般不分具体时间连用,而later常指一个具体的时间点之后。 2.afterward(s)强调事物的先后顺序,而later侧重”迟、推迟”。
