一、详细释义:
phr.
最后,终于
例句:

二、词义辨析:
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。
三、参考例句:
