Eventually Finally ɪˈventʃuəli Lot End I Series Adv

The word "eventually" is an adverb that means in the end, after a long time or a series of events. It is often used to describe something that happens after delays or complications, or as the final result of a process. It's important not to confuse it with "finally," which is usually used for the last item in a list or something that happens after a long wait.

Usage Note :

Do not confuse eventually and finally. When something happens after a lot of delays or complications, you can say that it eventually happens. Eventually they got to the hospital... I found Victoria Avenue eventually. You can also use eventually to talk about what happens at the end of a series of events, often as a result of them. Eventually, they were forced to return to England. You say that something finally happens after you have been waiting for it or expecting it for a long time. Finally I went to bed... The heat of the sun finally became too much for me. You can also use finally to show that something happens last in a series of events. The sky turned red, then purple, and finally black.

不要混淆eventually和finally。表示某事几经延迟或波折后最终发生,可以用eventually。例如,Eventually they got to the hospital(他们最终来到了医院),I found Victoria Avenue eventually(我最终找到了维多利亚大街)。eventually还可以表示一系列事件之后发生的事,常为这些事件的结果:Eventually, they were forced to return to England (结果他们被迫返回英格兰)。表示经过长时间的等待或期盼后某事终于发生时,用finally。例如,Finally I went to bed(我终于上床休息了),The heat of the sun finally became too much for me(我终于受不了太阳的炙烤了)。finally还可以表示一系列事件中最后发生的事:The sky turned red, then purple, and finally black(天空变成了红色,既而紫色,最后成了黑色)。
