| 用法说明 | Commonly used to suggest that something will happen after a delay. Avoid in very formal writing or when expressing immediate actions. | Use 'finally' to indicate that something has happened after a delay or difficulty. It's appropriate in both spoken and written contexts, but avoid it in very formal writing. | 在口语和书面语中都很常用。适用于休闲和正式场合。避免与非常具体的时间框架一起使用。Commonly used in spoken and written English. Appropriate for casual and formal contexts. Avoid using with very specific time frames. | Use 'ultimately' to emphasize the final outcome of a situation.
