| 词组 | tardy |
| 释义 | tardy 现在在英国不普通，偶然用，通常作“慢的”解而不作“过时的”解。但在美国很普通，而且作“过时的”解。例如：He is often tardy in his payments. 和 She was an hour tardy for supper last evening. tardiness 也是这样，如下面两句都是美国英语： Please excuse my tardiness in answering your letter. Her tardiness at supper last evening was due to a headache. （tardiness at supper 在英国人看来也许作“晚餐吃得慢”解） |
