USAGE:

(1.) Русскому глаголу опаздывать (на какое-либо мероприятие) соответствует в английском языке сочетание глагола to be с прилагательным late: to be late for the concert (lecture) опаздывать на концерт (лекцию). В словосочетаниях, указывающих на время опоздания, количественное определение стоит перед прилагательным late: to be five minutes late опоздать на пять минут. Выражению опоздать/пропустить/упустить на поезд (автобус, пароход) соответствует to miss the train (bus, ship). (2.) Русским "последний, недавний" в словосочетаниях типа "последние новости" (последняя мода) соответствует the latest news (fashion). Русскому последний могут соответствовать английские существительное the latest и прилагательное last, которые различаются по значению и употребляются в разных ситуациях. Прилагательное last обозначает последний в некотором ряду, указывает на конец, завершение набора, ряда: his last book (painting, visit) указывает на то, что после этой книги (картины, визита) ничего больше не было написано (нарисовано, не было больше посещений): Read the last sentence прочти последнее предложение, ср. He came late last night вчера он пришел поздно вечером. Прилагательное latest, в отличие от last употребляется относительно чего-либо нового, дополняющего уже известное или имеющееся и не предполагает завершение ряда предметов или событий: his latest book (his latest painting) его последняя книга (картина), т. e. написанные после тех, которые уже известны и после которых другие пока еще не созданы, ср. I like his latest play much better than his last one мне нравится его последняя пьеса гораздо больше, чем предыдущая (та, что была перед этой). (3.) See last, adj
II [leɪt]

- late at night
