Question

too late 和later的意思是一样的吗
it is always better to be comfortably early than even a fraction of a minted too late这句新概念英语里面的句子我一直弄不懂 尤其是than后面那句 a fraction of是个词组吗 a minted是干什么的 too late又是什么

Answer 1

it形式主语
is always better系表结构作谓语
to be comfortably early 真正的主语
than even a fraction of a minted too late比较状语从句.其中,a minted原意是被铸造的,延伸意独创,莽撞 a fraction of 有一点 too late 修饰minted
句子意思是：舒舒服服的早一点（时间充裕一点）总比兴冲冲急匆匆晚了一点要好
