1、at last/ in the end/ finally
三者均有“最后、终于”的含义。
finally常用于动词之前,表示人们长期以来期待的某事最后实现了,也可指一系列事物或论点的顺序。例如:
After putting it off 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。
They talked about it for hours.Finally,they decided not to go.他们谈论了几个小时,最后决定不去。
at last 有时可与finally互换,但往往用于一番拖延或曲折之后,语气更强烈。例如:
When at last they found him, he was almost dead.当人们最终找到他时,他已经奄奄一息了。
James has passed his exams at last.詹姆斯终于通过了考试。
in the end指经过许多变化、困难的捉摸不定的情况之后,某事才发生。例如:
We made five different plans for our holiday, but in the end we had a summer camp again.我们制订了五种不同的度假方案,但最后我们还是选定了再来一次夏令营活动。
2、awake/wake
①awake用作及物或不及物动词,表示“叫醒,唤醒;醒来”;而wake表示相同意义时,必须与up连用,对比:
The noise awoke me./The noise woke me up.嗓音把我闹醒。
She usually awakes at six in the morning./She usually wakes up at six in the morning.她通常早上6点醒。
注意:awake 不与up连用;wake up 的宾语是人称代词时必须置于两个词之间。误:wake up him正:wake him up
②awake 还可用作形容词,只用作表语或后置定语,不能用作前置定语。其反义词是asleep.如:
Is he awake or asleep?他睡着了还是醒着?
Anyone awake heard the sound.任何醒着的人都听到了那个声音。
注意:wide/fully awake 完全醒着;sound/fast/deeply asleep熟睡
