专业提示

区分 'later' 和 'tomorrow'

'later' 表示推迟但不具体时间,'tomorrow' 则明确指次日。例如:'I'll do it later' 表示稍后任意时间,'I'll do it tomorrow' 则明确为次日。

黄金法则

推迟行动的表达层次

从非正式到正式:do it later(稍后做)→ put it off(推迟)→ postpone(延期)→ defer(延迟,多用于正式场合)。

词源

由英语动词 'do'(做)和副词 'later'(稍后)组成,字面意思为'稍后做'。作为固定短语,在英语中至少自20世纪初开始使用,最初用于日常口语中推迟行动。

用法说明

1. 通常用于非正式场合,表示推迟行动但未明确具体时间。 2. 与 'put off' 或 'postpone' 相比,语气更为随意。 3. 在工作或学习中,若需更正式的表达,可使用 'postpone' 或 'defer'。
