ending
★★
🇺🇸 /ˈɛndɪŋ/
ending 主要表示事情、故事或作品的“结束、结尾”,也可指单词末尾表示语法变化的部分;作动词形式时是 end 的现在分词或动名词。
💡 记忆钩子
把 ending 想成一条路走到尽头:事情走到尽头就是“结束”,故事走到尽头就是“结尾”,而单词走到尽头留下的最后一小段,就是“词尾”。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“结束、结尾”这条主线,再记住语法中的“词尾”义;不要把 ending 一律理解成抽象的“终点”。
- 注意 ending 是名词或 end 的动词形式,不能因为它看起来像动词就直接把它当作一般现在时使用。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 结束;收尾📖 指一件事情或一个过程走到尽头、完成收尾的阶段,重点在“结束这一结果或过程”。💡 常用“the ending of + 名词”或“towards the ending”这样的结构。它既能用于日常谈话,也能用于较正式的叙述;表示具体结束时,通常需要冠词或限定词。中文学习者容易把 ending 当成动词使用,但“结束”作动词时应使用 end。The ending of the meeting was delayed by a long discussion.会议的结束因为一次长时间的讨论而推迟了。We stayed to watch the ending of the ceremony.我们留下来看完了仪式的收尾。
-
core 结尾;最后部分📖 指故事、电影、书或其他作品最后呈现出来的部分;它可以决定整个作品给人的最终感觉。💡 常用“a happy ending”“a sad ending”“the ending of a film”等结构。这个词尤其常用于评价故事和影视作品,语气可以很日常;谈论剧情时要注意不要提前透露结尾,可用“剧透”相关表达另行说明。The film has a surprising ending.这部电影有一个出人意料的结尾。
-
common 词尾📖 指加在词根或词干末尾、用来表示复数、时态等语法信息的部分;它仍然保留了“位于最后”的核心画面。💡 常用“the ending of a word”或“the ending -s/-ed”等结构,后面可直接说明具体词尾。这个用法多见于语言学习和语言学说明,通常把 ending 与词根、词干或语法功能一起说。不要把它理解成整个单词的最后一个字母,因为词尾有时包含不止一个字母。The ending -ed usually shows that an English verb is in the past tense.词尾“-ed”通常表示英语动词使用过去时。

core 正在结束;结束这件事📖 表示 end 的现在分词或动名词:可以说某事正在走向尽头,也可以把“结束”当作一件事情来谈。💡 进行时中使用“be ending”,动名词用法常见于“after ending + 名词”或“ending + 名词”结构。它可用于日常叙述,也可用于说明安排或过程;主语若是会议、课程等,通常表示它们即将结束,而不是主动把别的东西结束。form-of gerund participle presentThe lesson is ending, so please put your books away.课程快结束了,请把书收起来。
