2024年中考英語詞組辨析:at last/ finally/ in the end
?、? at last “最后”表經過一定曲折之后某事才發生,強調努力的結果,帶有較強的感情色彩。須用一般過去時。如:
Did the man in the shop understand him at last?
?、? finally 表動作的發生順序是在“最后”, 無感情色彩,只用于過去時。它居句首時較多。
?、?Finally he went to see the famous man himself.
?、? in the end 表事物發展的自然順序的“終結”,有時可與finally相互替換。但用于將來的預測時,則只能用in the end 如:
?、?I hope that everything will turn out all right in the end.
