- 認(rèn)識這個(gè)詞（基礎(chǔ)篇）
詞：end up
英英釋義：to finally be in a particular place or situation
例句：Perhaps it was inevitable that China and America would end up rivals.
- 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 （進(jìn)階篇）
“end up”是個(gè)動(dòng)詞詞組，意思是“到頭來”“最終”，常用來表示某人某物的結(jié)局或者最終狀態(tài)，是口語和寫作中都非常高頻實(shí)用的表達(dá)。
end up 的用法也很靈活，它可以接分詞、形容詞、介詞短語，也可以直接接名詞（有時(shí)會(huì)加 as）。我們通過一些例句來體會(huì)這些用法。
比如你的飛機(jī)晚點(diǎn)，你最后只能在機(jī)場里過夜，就可以說：
My flight was delayed, so I ended up spending the night at the airport.（end up 后接現(xiàn)在分詞，這種用法最常見）
吳秀波控訴他的前情人敲詐勒索，如果罪名成立，他的情婦最終可能會(huì)坐十年牢。我們可以說：
If convicted of extortion, Wu Xiubo’s former mistress might end up in prison for 10 years. （end up 后接介詞短語）
我們看看《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)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 后接形容詞）
b) Perhaps it was inevitable that China and America would end up rivals.（end up 后接名詞）
最后送你一句奧普拉的雞湯：
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.
