词语用法

n. (名词)

end还可作“目的”解,是可数名词,说“达到目的”时常可与accomplish, achieve, attain, compass, gain, obtain, reach, secure, win等动词连用。end作“结局”“结果”解时可加不定冠词。
at one's end的意思是“在那里”,指说话人或对方所在地,介词at有时可省略。

v. (动词)

end的基本意思是“结束”,通常指某一发展过程的最终结束。
end既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词,在用作不及物动词时,常常与介词或副词构成短语; 用作及物动词时,通常接名词或代词作宾语。可用于被动结构。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

at a loose end, at loose ends: 二者的意思不同,前者的意思是“不知道干什么”,后者的意思是“凌乱”。例如:

He had finished college but hadn't found a job yet, so he was at a loose end.他念完大学后没有找到工作,于是是闲着没事干。

Don't put all these books at loose ends.不要把这些书摆得杂乱无章。

at the end, in the end: 这两个短语都可表示“在最后”意思。其区别在于:

1.at the end多用于时间(如星期、年月、学期、季节等)或地点; 而in the end多用于某件事情,即“最后,终于,到头来”。例如:

Others were planning to go at the end of the term.其他人打算学期结束时去。

I hope everything will turn out all right in the end.我希望最后一切结局圆满。

2.in the end可单独使用,而at the end通常须接of短语。

bring an end to, come to an end: 两组短语的意思不同:前者的意思是“使之到头”,后者的意思是“濒于结束”。例如:

We must bring an end to suffering and hunger in the world. 我们必须结束世界上的苦难和饥饿。

The meeting came to an end late in the afternoon.会议开到傍晚才结束。

end on, on end: 这两者意思不同,前者的意思是“结束”,后者的意思是“不间断地”“连续地”“竖着的”。例如:

The book ends on 123.该书在123页结束。

The book ends on a happier tone.这本书以较为愉快的调子结尾。

He sat there for hours on end.他连续几个小时坐在那里。

We had to stand the table on end to get it through the door.我们只能把桌子竖起来才能把它抬进门。

in the end, at last, finally: 这三者都可表示“最后”。其区别在于:

1.in the end的意思是经过许多变化、困难和捉摸不定的情况之后,某事才发生。例如:

We made eight different plans for our holiday, but in the end we went to Harbin again .我们定了八种不同的度假方案,但是最后我们又一次去了哈尔滨。

2.at last指一个动作从发生一直延续到结束,意思是“终于”。例如:

In spite of every obstacle, we arrived at last.冲破种种障碍,我们终于到达了。

Her wish to be a doctor has come true at last.她想做一个医生的愿望终于实现了。

She felt joyful at the prospect of seeing him at last.她为终将看到他而感到欣喜。

3.finally在列举事物时可以用来引出最后一项内容,或者是直接放在动词之前, in the end和at last则不能。例如:

We need to increase productivity.We need to reduce unemployment.And finally, we need to make our exports competitive on world market.我们需要提高生产力,我们需要降低失业率; 最后我们还需要使我们的出口商品在国际市场上具有竞争力。

They finally cracked the defence and scored a goal.他们终于突破了防守,射进一球。

4.finally在主观上有“等了好久才…”的含义。例如:

After toying it 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。

What by policy and (what by) force they finally liberated that town.部分用策略,部分用武力,他们终于解放了那个城镇。

5.at last也在主观上有“等了好久才…”的含义,但语气上比finally强得多,且at last也可以作感叹语。例如:

When at last they found him, he was almost dead.当人们终于找到他时,他快死了。

At last!Where the hell have you been?总算找到你了!你到底上哪去了?

no end, no end of: 这两个短语意思不同,前者的意思是“非常”“极其”,后者的意思是“大量的”“无限的”。例如:

The book of yours amused me no end.我觉得你那本书十分有趣。

It caused me no end of worry.这给我带来无穷的烦恼。

without end, to no end: 两者的意思不同:前者的意思是“没完没了”,后者的意思是“毫无结果”。例如:

I had trouble without end.我的麻烦没完没了。

All their efforts came to no end.他们的一切努力付之东流。

v. (动词)

end, end up: end只是一般性地说明结束时的情况,而end up起到加强语气的效果,往往用来强调事物发展的最后结局。试比较:

The delegation ended their visit to China on March 3.

代表团于3月3日结束对中国的访问。

Though friends for many years, the two lawyers finally ended up enemies.

虽然是多年老友,这两个律师最后还是成了冤家对头。

end by, end with: end with的意思是“以…告终”,后接名词,而end by的意思是“以…(行动)来结束”,后接动名词。试比较:

The book ends with a brief summary.

这本书以一个简要的归纳而结束。

He ended by agreeing as might be expected of him.

他终于像人们所期望的那样表示同意。

end, accomplish, complete, conclude, finish: 这组词都有“结束”“完成”的意思。它们之间的区别是:conclude是比较正式的用语,常指达成协议,作出决定后正式“结束”,如正式的会议、事物等的结束。也有达到逻辑上的结论的含义。因此常用来表示结束一篇著作、一篇演说或议论; accomplish指坚持不懈地努力完成某项计划或达到预期的目的; complete强调把未完成的东西或事情完成,有通过弥补某种欠缺使之成为完整之意; end指“停止”“结束”某一进程,但不强调是否已经圆满完成。常用来指旅行、讲演、争论、战争等结束或终止; finish强调完成自己所计划要干的或所规定的事情或动作,并含有最后加以润色,使之完美的意味。

aim，goal，purpose，end，target，object，objective: 这些名词均有“目标、目的”之意。

aim从本义“靶子”引申而来，侧重比较具体而明确的目标，但常指短期目标。

goal指经过考虑和选择，需经坚持不懈的努力奋斗才能达到的最终目标。

purpose普通用词，既指以坚决、审慎的行动去达到的目的，又指心中渴望要实现的目标。

end指心目中怀着的某种目的，强调结果而非过程。较正式用词。

target指射击的靶，军事攻击目标。引申指被攻击、批评或嘲笑的目标。

object强调个人或需求而决定的目标、目的。

objective与object基本同义，但语义更广泛，指具体或很快能达到的目的，也可指军事目标。书面用词。
