figure, in the end, ultimate, impression, dinosaur skeleton

Today's International Museum Day! The Natural History Museum (Museum für Naturkunde Berlin) is one of the largest in Germany - along with those in Frankfurt am Main and Bonn. The museum is best known for its dinosaur skeletons. Have you ever been there?

“Ultimately, we expect we will see coronavirus spread in this country,” CDC Director Nancy Messonnier said. “It’s not so much a question of if, but a question of when.”

美國CDC主任南希·梅森尼爾(Nancy Messonnier)說:“最終,我們預計冠狀病毒將在我國傳播。” “問題與其說會不會大流行,不如說是什麼時候。”

Dinosaurs are best known for their bones. But skeletons are not all that remains of the ancient beasts. Once considered rare, skin impressions are increasingly being recognised during excavations and brought back to museums for preservation and analysis http://econ.st/1dVCniu

in the end

Eventually, ultimately, as in All will turn out well in the end. [Mid-1500s]



ultimately traditional 不是非常傳統


As a component of national identity

Takashi Yoshida asserts that, "Nanking has figured in the attempts of all three nations [China, Japan and the United States] to preserve and redefine national and ethnic pride and identity, assuming different kinds of significance based on each country's changing internal and external enemies."[129]
