    1. 认识这个词(基础篇)

     词:end up

    英英释义:to finally be in a particular place or situation

     例句:Perhaps it was inevitable that China and America would end up rivals.

    2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

     “end up”是个动词词组,意思是“到头来”“最终”,常用来表示某人某物的结局或者最终状态,是口语和写作中都非常高频实用的表达。 end up 的用法也很灵活,它可以接分词、形容词、介词短语,也可以直接接名词(有时会加 as)。我们通过一些例句来体会这些用法。

     比如你的飞机晚点,你最后只能在机场里过夜,就可以说:

    My flight was delayed, so I ended up spending the night at the airport.

    (end up 后接现在分词,这种用法最常见) 吴秀波控诉他的前情人敲诈勒索,如果罪名成立,他的情妇最终可能会坐十年牢。我们可以说: If convicted of extortion, Wu Xiubo’s former mistress might end up in prison for 10 years. (end up 后接介词短语)

    我们看看《经济学人》是如何使用 end up 的:

     a) He frets about his student loans and the difficulty of finding a job, even fearing that he might end up homeless.(end up 后接形容词)

     b) Perhaps it was inevitable that China and America would end up rivals.(end up 后接名词)

    最后送你一句奥普拉的鸡汤:

    Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

     3. 从认识到会用(作业)

    1)翻译下面的句子: Steve 本可以成为富人。

    (参考翻译:Steve could have ended up rich. 或者 Steve could have ended up a rich man.)

    2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。 场景: 造句:
