词义辨析

adv. (副词)

finally, at last, in the end

• 这三者都可表示“最后”。其区别在于:
• 1.in the end的意思是经过许多变化、困难和捉摸不定的情况之后,某事才发生。例如:
• We made eight different plans for our holiday, but in the end we went to Harbin again .我们定了八种不同的度假方案,但是最后我们又一次去了哈尔滨。
• 2.at last指一个动作从发生一直延续到结束,意思是“终于”。例如:
• In spite of every obstacle, we arrived at last.冲破种种障碍,我们终于到达了。
• Her wish to be a doctor has come true at last.她想做一个医生的愿望终于实现了。
• She felt joyful at the prospect of seeing him at last.她为终将看到他而感到欣喜。
• 3.finally在列举事物时可以用来引出最后一项内容,或者是直接放在动词之前, in the end和at last则不能。例如:
• We need to increase productivity.We need to reduce unemployment.And finally, we need to make our exports competitive on world market.我们需要提高生产力,我们需 要降低失业率; 最后我们还需要使我们的出口商品在国际市场上具有竞争力。
• They finally cracked the defence and scored a goal.他们终于突破了防守,射进一球。
• 4.finally在主观上有“等了好久才…”的含义。例如:
• After toying it three times, we finally managed to have a holiday in Greece.经过三次延期之后,我们终于在希腊度了一次假。
• What by policy and (what by) force they finally liberated that town.部分用策略,部分用武力,他们终于解放了那个城镇。
• 5.at last也在主观上有“等了好久才…”的含义,但语气上比finally强得多,且at last也可以作感叹语。例如:
• When at last they found him, he was almost dead.当人们终于找到他时,他快死了。
• At last!Where the hell have you been?总算找到你了!你到底上哪去了?

at last，at length，eventually，finally，in the end，lastly

• 这些词或词组均含有“最后，终于”之意。
• at last多指经主观努力，克服各种困难后才终于达到目的。
• at length强调经历一段长时间后终于完成，侧重在时间部分。
• eventually侧重于动作或行为的结果。
• finally常与at last换用，都可用于对往事的描述，但finally不带感情色彩，指一系列事情的最后结局。
• in the end与at last同义，但in the end不仅可指“过去”还可表示对“未来”的预计。
• lastly指连续顺序的最后，通常用在列举事情的场合。
