2024年中考英語詞組辨析:at last/ finally/ in the end
Ⅰ. at last “最后”表經(jīng)過一定曲折之后某事才發(fā)生,強(qiáng)調(diào)努力的結(jié)果,帶有較強(qiáng)的感情色彩。須用一般過去時。如:
Did the man in the shop understand him at last?
Ⅱ. finally 表動作的發(fā)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。
① Finally he went to see the famous man himself.
Ⅲ. in the end 表事物發(fā)展的自然順序的“終結(jié)”,有時可與finally相互替換。但用于將來的預(yù)測時,則只能用in the end 如:
① I hope that everything will turn out all right in the end.
