词义辨析

adv. (副词)

late, lately, of late, recently

• 这是一组同根词,都表示时间的“迟”“晚”“近”。其区别是：
• 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。

常见错误

adv. (副词)

1. 你最近在干什么?

   误 What are you doing lately?

   正 What have you been doing lately?

2. 他最近要出国。

   误 He will go abroad lately.

   正 He will go abroad soon.

   析 lately这个表示“近来”“最近”的时间状语通常与完成时或过去时连用,不与现在时连用,一般也不与将来时连用。
