常见错误	Confusing with 'at least'; they have different meanings., Using in very formal writing where simpler alternatives may fit better.	Using 'eventually' when the action is immediate or certain., Confusing it with 'eventual,' which refers to the final outcome rather than the process leading to it., Incorrectly placing it at the beginning of a sentence without a comma.	Using it too early in a sentence., Confusing it with 'at the end' which refers to a specific time rather than a conclusion.	'Ultimately' is often misused when the context is not about finality., Learners may confuse 'ultimately' with 'eventually' but they are not exactly the same., Overusing 'ultimately' in casual speech can sound pretentious.
用法说明	Use 'at last' to express relief or joy when something finally happens. It's neutral and works in both spoken and written contexts.	通常用来表示某事会在延迟后发生。在非常正式的写作中或表达立即行动时应避免使用。 Commonly used to suggest that something will happen after a delay.
