用法
- Sense of end/finally - 终于 (zhōngyú) 'at last' after long anticipation: 终于到了 (zhōngyú dào le) finally arrived.
- 终于 marks a hoped-for outcome; 最终 (zuìzhōng) is a more neutral 'ultimately/in the end.'
- 始终 (shǐzhōng) means 'all along, from start to finish': 始终坚持 (shǐzhōng jiānchí) to persist throughout.
- 终身 (zhōngshēn) = lifelong (终身学习 lifelong learning); 终点 (zhōngdiǎn) = the finish/end point.
