Meaning
例子： 如果你说：“他们本来打算去海滩，结果end up 在山里露营。”这意味着他们的计划发生了变化，最终选择了不同的活动。
使用“end up”时，通常会在后面接动词的ing形式或介词短语。例如：“She ended up going home early.”（她最终早早回家了。）或“After the party, we ended up at a café.”（聚会结束后，我们最终去了咖啡馆。）
总之，“end up”强调的是结果，而这个结果往往与预期不同或经过了一些变化。理解这一短语有助于更好地掌握英语中的因果关系和事件的进程。

Writer's Note
"End up" is an intransitive and separable phrasal verb.
- Intransitive: "End up" does not take a direct object. It is used to describe an outcome or final situation without needing to act on an object.
Example
Correct: We ended up at the wrong restaurant.
Incorrect: We ended up the wrong restaurant. (This would be incorrect because there's no direct object.) - Separable: The verb end and the particle up can be separated in some contexts. However, in most cases, the particle up cannot be separated from end.
Example (separable): We ended our trip up in the mountains.
Example (inseparable): We ended up going to the beach.
