• eventually 本词

  Eventually states that something happens after an unspecified series of events or amount of time, in a neutral, matter-of-fact way, without implying effort or relief.

Finally and eventually both describe something happening after time passes, but the feeling differs. Finally suggests relief after a wait or difficulty. Eventually is neutral, saying something happened after a series of events, without effort or relief. Finally can mean 'lastly'; that is not compared.

这两个词都表示经过一段时间或过程之后发生某事，但语气不同：finally 强调经历等待、努力或困难后终于实现，常带如释重负或达成目标的情感色彩；eventually 语气更中性、客观，只是说明某事在一系列事件或不确定的时间之后发生，不强调努力或情绪。此外，finally 还有“最后一点，总之”的用法，用于列举要点时引出最后一项，这里不做比较。
