请问 at last 与 at long last 的区别是什么?
另外,英语可以说 at the last 以及 at the long last 吗?尤其是 at the long last,由于 last 前有了 long 的修饰,它的前面是否应该有定冠词?谢谢!
英语可以说 at last 和 at long last,均表示“终于”“最后”,后者语气更强。两者均属;固定搭配,其中不用冠词。如:
The fine weather broke at last. 好天气终于突然转变了。
The sun broke through at last in the afternoon. 下午太阳终于从云层里钻了出来。
At last he saw the comedy of the situation and laughed. 他最后看出的场面的喜剧性,于是笑了起来。
At long last we found out what had really happened. 最后,我们终于弄清了实际发生的情况。
