1. take off 意为“开始有成就，开始成名，脱掉(衣服)，(飞机)起飞”。
2. keep 意为“抚养(人)，饲养(动物)”，后接名词作宾语，同义词为raise。
3. go wrong意为“变糟”。
4. 辨析：in the end, finally, at last
in the end 与 finally, at last都可作“最后”解，但用法有所不同。
(1) finally有 个用法，一是在列举事物或论点时，可用来引出最后一项内容；二是用在句中，表示“等了好久才……”。

我们等了又等，火车终于来了。
Finally turn off the lights and lock the door.
最后要关上灯，锁上门。

最后，工作完成了，他可以休息了。
She has come at last.
她总算来了。
(3) in the end表示“经过许多变化，困难和捉摸不定的情况以后，某事才发生”。
in the end相当于at last和finally的第二个用法。in the end可以预测将来，但at last和finally则不能。
