(1) I’ve 是I have的缩写，have been late是 现在完成时态，现在完成时是指一个动作 或状态开始于过去,持续到现在,并可能继续 下去，而且对现在产生了一定的影响, 其构成是have / has＋动词过去分词。 e.g. I have been here since 1999． (2) be late for 意为“……迟到”，for为介词， 所以其后须跟名词。 e.g. Don’t be late for the meeting． (3) close 在此为副词“接近地, 靠近地”。 此外came very close意为 “到时 与迟到很接近”。 3. My alarm clock didn’t go off, … go off 在此处意为“时钟、报警器等响”。 go off 还可指“离去；去世；(水、电等)断掉； 睡着；(事物)变坏；(品质)变低”等。 e.g.The lights in our classroom suddenly went off last night. The old man has gone off by the fire. The milk has gone off. Miss Hill got angry and went off. 与go有关的词组还有： (1) go in for 爱好；参加竞赛或考试 e.g. She goes in for bird-watching． (2) go on 进行, 继
