词义讲解
词源解说

adj.(形容词)

latter, late: 这两个词的共同意思是“较晚的”“较后的”。其区别是：
1.late指在一个具体时间之后;而latter指一段时间或一个时期的“后一半的”“接近终了的”,还可以指在时间或顺序上的“后者的”“近来的”。例如:
She returned in the late afternoon.她下午很晚才返回来。
He mentioned it in the latter part of his speech.他在演讲的后面提到了它。
2.late只能用于时间;latter则除了可以用于时间外,还可以用于顺序。例如:
The train was ten minutes late.那趟火车晚了10分钟。
Of the pig and the cow, the latter is more valuable.猪和牛相比,后者更有价值。
3.latter只能用于名词之前作定语,而late还可用作表语。

☆ 直接源自古英语的latra，意为后面的。
