嗨，大家好！
我们知道last有“最后”的含义，one是指数字一，那习语last but one是什么意思呢？
last but one的意思是“the one before the final one”，即“倒数第二”。but除了“但是”的意思，还有“除了”的含义。除了一个才是最后，也就是倒数第二了。
例句：
Mike was the last but one to arrive.
迈克是倒数第二个到达的。
下面再介绍一个和last有关的习语：last but not least。
last but not least的意思是“importantly, despite being mentioned after everyone else”，即“最后但同样重要的是”。
这句习语最早源于1580年John Lyly的《Euphues and His England》：
I have heard oftentimes that in love there are three things for to be used: if time serve, violence, if wealth be great, gold, if necessity compel, sorcery. But of these three but one can stand me in stead - the last, but not the least'; which is able to work the minds of all women like wax
last but not least这句习语通常用于舞台介绍上，介绍最后宣布的人重要性不亚于先介绍的人。当然，这句习语使用的场合不止是舞台，总之这句习语的意思是“最后但同样重要的是”，也就是指最后介绍的重要性不亚于前面介绍的。
例句：
I would like to thank my publisher, my editor, and, last but not least, my wife.
我要感谢出版商、编辑，最后同样要感谢我的妻子。
以上就是今天所学内容，你学会了吗？
