Complete, done, and finished all mean finished with nothing left to do. Complete is formal and can go before a noun. Done is informal and spoken, used only after a linking verb. Finished is neutral in speech and writing, and rarely goes before a noun.

这三个词在“完成的”这个意思上很接近,但语域和语法搭配不同:complete 语气较正式,可以直接放在名词前修饰;done 非常口语化,只能用在系动词后面,不能修饰名词;finished 语域适中,口语和书面语都常见,但修饰名词的用法仅限于少数固定搭配。这里不比较 complete 表示“完全的、彻底的”的用法,也不比较 finished 表示“技艺精湛的”的用法。
