late的用法

Late that year, in November, I was in my club, sipping a glass of sherry before dinner.

late that year的late是副词吗？副词修饰名词year？省略了in that year吗？加不加in有什么区别？

Late that year, in November, I was in my club, sipping a glass of sherry before dinner.

【翻译】那年晚些时候，也就是在十一月份（的某天），我在我的俱乐部里，晚饭前喝了一杯雪利酒。

【分析】

1. late 是副词，that year 是时间名词（副词用法，之前省略介词），修饰late。类似的表达：early in the morning，late in the afternoon 等，是“大范围时间”，而late 则是这个大范围时间内的一个具体时间。

2. 这种结构可以延伸答到地点状语，例如：here in the room, there on the sea，都是介词短语修饰前面的副词。

3. that year 之前不加介词。语法规定：时间名词前有了this, that, last, next, every 等修饰时，不加任何介词。如：this year, last week, next month, every day。
