[誤] We had a nice party with drinks and dancing, then, after all, we went home.
[正] We had a nice party with drinks and dancing, and finally, we went home.
注:after all 不是finally 的意思,它主要有兩層詞義:
一、“畢竟,終究”。after all 這一用法,通常置于句末。
二、“必須記住,別忘了”。after all 的這一用法,通常置于句首。所以根據(jù)誤句所要表達的意思來看,不能用after all,而是要用finally 來表示“若干時間或動作”之后的“最后(行動)。
