“late at night”的中文翻译

A. “late at night”是什么意思

“late at night”的中文翻译意思是：在深夜；夜半更深；深更半夜。（副词短语，强调时间已晚，指深夜或凌晨时段，也可用 late in the night、deep into the night 等词表达类似的“深夜”含义）。

B. “late at night”的发音音标

英[ˌleɪt ət ˈnaɪt] 美[ˌleɪt ət ˈnaɪt]

C. “late at night”的用法

“late at night”是英语中常用的副词短语，由“late”（晚的）+“at night”（在夜间）构成，整体意为“在深夜、夜深时”，多在句中作时间状语。该表达侧重描述发生在夜晚较晚时段的动作或状态：可以说“stay up late at night”表示“熬夜到深夜”，“work late at night”表示“工作到深夜”。与之相比，“late in the night”含义相近但使用频率较低，多见于文学性描述；“deep into the night”强调“一直持续到深夜”，常与持续性的动作连用，如“The party went deep into the night”（派对一直开到深夜）；“the dead of night”特指“万籁俱寂的深夜”，带文学色彩，常与“in”搭配表示“在夜深人静时”；“at night”泛指“在夜里”，不带“晚”的强调；“all night”指“整夜”；“in the small hours”或“in the early hours”指“凌晨时分”。注意“late at night”中“at”为介词通常弱读，口语中常连读为 /ˌleɪtətˈnaɪt/；单独的“late night”可作定语，如“a late-night show”（深夜节目）。
