Ultimate
What you think it means: The one, the only. The best.你認(rèn)為單詞的含義是:某個,唯一的,最好的。
What it really means: The last item of a list.單詞的真正含義是:列表中的最后一項。
Some people do actually use this one properly. You may see someone list off a bunch of things and hear them say, "Okay, at the store we need eggs, milk, juice, and ultimately, butter."That is actually the proper use of ultimate. There is no other context or added context. It simply means the last one.確實也有人能夠正確使用這個單詞。你或許看到過別人寫出一串列單,然后聽到他們說:“嗯……我們要去商店買點雞蛋、牛奶、果汁,最后(ultimately)還有黃油。”這才是ultimate的正確使用方法。這里不存在其他內(nèi)容或補充內(nèi)容,ultimate就表示“最后一個”。
