在英語中，一些單詞、詞組等不單單只表達一個意思，在不同的場景中，它會有不同的解釋。今天，優(yōu)朗英語培訓(xùn)的Kathy老師以“after all”這個短語為例，為大家做個簡單的介紹。

    after all 有兩個不同意思。表示畢竟時，用于解釋或說明理由，提醒對方考慮到某一點。這時 after all 可放在句首，句中或句尾。

    You can't expect Lucy's spelling to be perfect . After all , She is only eight ! 

    你不應(yīng)期望露西的拼寫完全沒錯，畢竟她只有八歲！

    Tom can be generous sometimes . He did give you his old car for nothing , after all .

    湯姆有時也很大方。畢竟他將他那輛舊車送給你了。

    after all 也可表示最終，常出現(xiàn)子句尾，表示事情的發(fā)生出乎意料。

    James's wife has fallen ill , so he can't come after all .

    詹姆斯的太太病了，所以他最終來不了。

    We heard the weather forecast and were all prepared for wet weather , and then it didn't rain after all .

    我們聽了天氣預(yù)報，并做好了小雨的準備，可是最終沒有下雨。

    The lady's changed her mind again . She wants the orange dress , after all .

    This was the very first dress that she tried on .

    I know , and I didn't think it suited her , did you ?

    But , after all , she has to wear it , not me .

    以上內(nèi)容就是對“after all"這一短語的詳細介紹，希望對學(xué)員有幫助~
