常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Lastly"?Which "Lastly" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×He gave a lastly speech.

He gave a final speech.

"lastly" 是副詞,不能修飾名詞 "speech"。修飾名詞時應使用形容詞 "final" 或 "last"。

×We need to check the data, write the report, and lastly submit it.

We need to check the data, write the report, and finally/Lastly, submit it.

在列舉項目時,"lastly" 通常用於引導最後一項,因此前面常會加上逗號,或置於句首。在句中連接時,使用 "finally" 更為自然,或將 "lastly" 置於最後一項的開頭。

×Lastly, we have arrived!

At last, we have arrived!

"lastly" 用於列舉或演講中引導最後一點,表示順序。而 "at last" 或 "finally" 用於表達經過長時間等待或延遲後的解脫或結果。

×And lastly, don't forget to save your work.

Lastly, don't forget to save your work.

在正式或清晰的列舉中,"lastly" 本身已具有連接功能,前面加上 "and" 是多餘的。雖然口語中可能出現,但在寫作中應避免。

×The book was long, boring, and lastly, expensive.

The book was long, boring, and, finally, expensive.

"lastly" 通常用於引導一系列步驟或論點中的最後一項,語氣較為正式、結構化。用於簡單列舉形容詞時,使用 "finally" 或直接使用 "and" 更為自然。
