课程摘要
Use 归根到底 to return to the deepest reason or the final conclusion after considering other details. It is close to “in the final analysis.”
归根到底 is used when the speaker wants to summarize the real reason, key point, or final conclusion behind a situation. It often appears at the beginning of a sentence and is followed by a complete conclusion. Do not use it for a simple time sequence or a small extra detail; it should point to the root of the issue. Compared with 最后, which can mean “finally” in time order, 归根到底 stresses the essential reason or final judgement.
