The train was five minutes behind schedule.

The train was five minutes behind schedule.
    火車晚點(diǎn)了5分鐘。
    Behind schedule，是比較規(guī)范的“晚點(diǎn)”的說法。如果說the train was late for 5 minutes，在口語中也是可以的，相當(dāng)于“火車遲到了5分鐘”。但在下面這個(gè)句子中，用late就不太合適了：The project was nine months behind schedule. 這個(gè)項(xiàng)目拖期了9個(gè)月。
