1. 1rB2/ˈlæstli/ · /ˈlɑːstli/最後

    You say lastly when you are telling someone the final thing in a list of things, or the final point in a talk or a piece of writing.

    示範例句 · Example

    Firstly, read the question carefully. Secondly, plan your answer. Lastly, check your spelling.

    逐字第一,仔細讀題目。第二,計畫你的答案。最後,檢查你的拼字。

    「lastly」是用來說「這是清單上的最後一項」的字,常跟 firstly、secondly 一起成套出現(LDOCE 就把 firstly 列為它的相反詞)。可以想成:你一邊講重點一邊在心裡數數,lastly 就是「數到最後一個了」的那聲。它說的是「位置」,不是「等了很久」——這點跟 at last(終於)差很多;finally 兩種味道都有,lastly 只有清單那一種。
