    Writer's Note

    "End up" is an intransitive and separable phrasal verb.

    「End up」是個不及物且可分的片語動詞。
    1. 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.)
    2. 不及物動詞:「End up」不需要直接受詞。它用來描述結果或最終情況,而不需要對某個對象進行動作。
      例子
      正確:We ended up at the wrong restaurant.
      錯誤:We ended up the wrong restaurant.(這是錯誤的,因為沒有直接受詞。)
    3. 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.
    4. 可分開的:動詞end和片語up在某些情況下可以分開。然而,在大多數情況下,片語up不能與end分開。
      例子(可分開):我們最後在山裡結束了我們的旅程。
      例子(不可分開):我們最後去海灘。

    Related words: Become, come to be, develop into, eventually be, eventually be, evolve, finish as, grow into, play out, turn out to be.
