The word "后者" in Chinese means "the latter" in English. This word comes from the Old English word "lætter," which means "later" or "subsequent." Here are some examples of how to use "the latter" in English sentences:

I can either go to the beach or stay home. I think I'll choose the latter. (我可以去海滩，也可以呆在家里。我想我会选择后者。)

She has two sons, one is a doctor and the other is a lawyer. The latter is very successful. (她有两个儿子，一个是医生，另一个是律师。后者很成功。)

I've read both books, but I liked the latter one more. (我读过两本书，但我更喜欢后一本。)

In these examples, "the latter" is used to refer to the second of two things previously mentioned. It is used in a similar way to "the former," which refers to the first of two things previously mentioned. For example:

She has two sons, one is a doctor and the other is a lawyer. The former is very kind, while the latter is very successful. (她有两个儿子，一个是医生，另一个是律师。前者很善良，后者很成功。)
