    逐字美放學後見她的老師，來最後確定科學展計畫的細節。

    「finalize」是「把計畫、協議或安排的最後幾步做完，讓它定下來、可以開始」。常見說法：finalize the details（敲定細節）、finalize the arrangements（把安排最後確定）、finalize an agreement / a deal（敲定協議／交易）。跟 finish 容易搞混：finish 是把任何正在做的事做完；finalize 專指「把計畫或協議的最後部分定下來」。核心畫面可以想成：拼圖只剩最後一塊，你把它放進去，整張圖就穩了。跟 complete 比：complete 多半是完成一件花很久做成的東西；finalize 是把協議／安排最後定案。

core核心畫面

Picture a plan that is almost done: dates roughly agreed, numbers nearly right, one signature missing. To finalize is to do those last small things so that nothing is left open — after this, the thing stops moving.

可以想成：一份快要完成的計畫——日期大致談好、數字接近了，就差一個簽名。finalize 就是把最後那幾件事做完，讓它不再有變動的空間；動作結束之後，這件事就定下來了。所以它的受詞通常是 plan、details、deal、arrangements 這類「談到一半」的東西。
