better late than never 为什么这么表达

better late than never是省略句,英语习语.
完整点就是It is better to do something late than to never do it at all.
意思是迟做总比不做好,即亡羊补牢,犹未为晚.
late is better than never此句中late和never不能相比较啊 词性都不一致
Better late than never is often used as a polite way to respond when a person says "sorry" for being late.Example:"Sorry I was late for the meeting today.I got stuck in traffic." Reply:"That's okay.Better late than never."
形容词比较级位于句首可以是一些简略句,省去了主语和谓语.
如：faster/better than you
