It was a fine day. Darren, Kangkang and I got up early in the morning. After we checked our bikes and bags, we rode to Tian’anmen Square.

After one and a half hours, we arrived at Tian’anmen Square. We came to Tian’anmen Rostrum first. There was a large picture of Chairman Mao on it. ‘‘Chairman Mao once announced the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the first national flag was raised here,” Kangkang told us.

After we visited Tian’anmen Rostrum, we came to the Monument to the People’s Heroes. It was in the center of the square. There were many people there. We took a lot of photos.

辨析:  in the end, at last, finally, at length, lastly, eventually  这组词都有“最后,终于”的意思,其区别是:

  • 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。
  • at last 多指经主观努力,克服各种困难后才终于达到目的。
  • 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。
  • at length 强调经历一段长时间后终于完成,侧重在时间部分。
  • lastly 指连续顺序的最后,通常用在列举事情的场合。
  • eventually 侧重于动作或行为的结果。
