-===總算===
-總算 vs. 終於：
-總算 can be used in place of 終於 to mean the same thing, "finally" or "at last".
-總算 has an additional usage that 終於 does not have, meaning "at least" in the sense that a situation is imperfect but "at least" some result was achieved, even if not ideal. A common pattern is: 「雖然…但總算…」 "although... but at least...".
-For example:
-Even though I didn't do perfectly on this test, but at least I did alright.
-「雖然這次考試也不是考的很好，但總算開可以」
