  • 词义辨析

    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。

    afterward(s),later

    这两个副词均有“后来,以后”之意。
    afterward(s)指一整段时间之后,一般不分具体时间,强调事物的先后顺序。
    later常指一个具体的时间点之后,侧重“迟、推迟”。

    later,latter

    这两个字仅差一字之微,词义和使用场合却大相径庭,读音也不一样。
    later是形容词late的比较形式,表示时间的先后,意为“较后的”、“较新的”,它能作形容词,也能作副词。
    latter表示事物的先后,意为“后者“,只能作形容词,不能作副词。
