高一英語語法慣用法：be late for還是be late with

be late后是搭配介詞for還是with?請(qǐng)看下面這一道題：
    “You went late _______ the stadium yesterday evening, didn’t you?” “Yes, my wife was a little late _______ the supper.”
    A. to, with B. for, with
    C. for, for D. at, for
    【陷阱】容易誤選 B 或D。
    【分析】答案應(yīng)選 A。第一空填to 比較好理解，因?yàn)榇颂幍膌ate為副詞，用以修飾 go to the stadium 中的動(dòng)詞go;而第二句的 with 則是許多同學(xué)不容易想到的，相反，更多地可能是想到 for，現(xiàn)將兩者區(qū)別如下：be late for表示做某事遲到，而be late with 表示做某事做晚了(=be late in doing sth)。比較：
    We were late for dinner. 我們吃飯遲到了。
    We were late with dinner [=in having dinner]. 我們吃飯吃得遲。
    句中 my wife was a little late with the supper 的意思是“我妻子準(zhǔn)備晚飯稍遲了一點(diǎn)”。
