Overview

  1. 1概述：迟到（chídào）是中文日常生活中最常用的词汇之一，用于表达“晚于规定时间到达”。它由“迟”（晚）和“到”（到达）组成，语义非常明确。在现代社会，守时是一种重要的礼仪，因此这个词在职场、学校和社交场合出现的频率极高。

常见语境：最常见的语境是学校（上课迟到）和公司（上班迟到）。此外，在朋友聚会或正式约会中，迟到会被视为一种不礼貌的行为，因此人们常会说“对不起，我迟到了”来表示歉意。

  1. 1近义词比较：与“耽误”（delay/hinder）不同，“迟到”强调的是到达的时间点晚于预期，而“耽误”侧重于由于某种原因导致事情进程变慢或受到影响。另一个词“晚点”（wǎndiǎn）通常用于交通工具（如火车、飞机），而不用于人，这是初学者最容易混淆的地方。

How to Use It

Nutzungshinweise

Häufige Fehler

Students often use '迟到' for trains or buses. Also, they sometimes put the time duration before the verb, which is grammatically incorrect.

Tips

💡

Use with specific time durations

Always place the duration of lateness after the verb. For example, say '迟到了十分钟' instead of '十分钟迟到了'.

⚠️

Do not use for objects

Never use '迟到' to describe a late train or flight. Use '晚点' for transportation instead.
