这是一组同根词,都表示时间的“迟”“晚”“近”。它们的区别是:
late的意思是“迟”“晚”,反义词是early;lately的意思是“不久前”“最近”,即not long ago;of late的意思是“最近以来”,强调时间持续的过程;recently的意思是“最近”“近来”,比lately和of late更加庄重。例如:
We went to bed late.我们很晚才上床睡觉。
Have you been there lately?你近来到那里去过吗?
He has been behaving strangely of late.他近来的行为一直很古怪。
I have seen him quite recently.我最近见过他。
