高考语法疑难解析七--finally, at last 和 in the end区别

finally, at last 和 in the end 在用法上有何区别?

　　<答>. 虽然finally, at last 和 in the end 三者都有'最后'之意,但强调的重点不尽相同.

　　1). finally 多用于列举事物时,用以引出最后一项内容; 或用在句中动词前,表示"好久才......".例如:
　　 Finally she went to Mr. Wang and had a friendly talk with him. 最后她走到王先生跟前,和他进行了友好的交谈.

　　2). at last 往往指经过重重困难,或指不愉快的经历后,强调为达到目的所做的努力.例如:
　　 The war had been long and hard, but now there was peace at lat.战争是漫长和艰苦的,但是现在和平终于到来了.

　　3). in the end 强调事情的结局. 有时可与 at last huanyong ,但in the end 可以用于将来时,而at lat 则不能. 例如:
　　 All will come right in the end. 到头来,一切都会好的. (这时 in the end 不可为 at last ).

　　练习: 选择答案填空.
　　1). The last pen was __C____ found.
　　 A. in the end. B. by the end C. finally D. by an end of
　　2). Your wishes will come true __B_________.
　　 A. at last B. at the last C. by the end D. in the end
