我们写作的时候常会用“首先,然后,最后”,“首先/第一”就是first。如果制作列表(making a list),可以用 first 或者 firstly。

Firstly 比 first 更加正式。比如:

Dear Mr Gates

First(ly) I would like to thank you for your kind offer of a job ...

亲爱的盖茨先生:

首先,我想感谢您提供的工作……

!!不说At first I would like to thank you...!!


at first

意思就是 at the beginning / in the beginning 一开始,起初,首先

常常会有对比

At first when I went to England to study English, I was homesick, but in the end I cried when it was time to leave.

起初当我去英国学习英语时,我很想家,但最后当我要离开的时候,我哭了。

in the end 最后,终于,最终

He called for help. No one heard him at first, but eventually two young girls came to help him.

他(向人)呼救。起初没有人听到他的声音,但最终两个年轻女孩来帮助他。
