Question

At first,they got _____ about something and _____ _____ _____Chinese at last

刚开始他们对一些事感到兴奋，最后却以说中文结束。

Answer 1

1. excited
2. ended up speaking

若全句是：
At first they got excited about something and ended up speaking Chinese at last.
句子似应译为：刚开始他们不知为什么兴奋异常，末了叽里呱啦说起了中文。

用 something 是因为不确切知道是什么，end up doing 意为 "最终"、"结果"、"末了"，表示与原来打算或计划的不同，有出乎意料的含义。如，He wanted to be a doctor, but ended up being a bus driver. (他原想当医生，最后却成了公车司机。)

【这个句子十分异常。不管 got excited 和 ended up speaking 是否是正确答案，中间用 and 令人匪夷所思，因句首是 at first，句尾是 at last。正确的似乎应该为：At first they got excited about something but ended up speaking Chinese. 即应用 but 连接。另外，用 at last 属于赘述，就像他们不说 return back 或 repeat again 一样。】

注：说不定我完全错误！

Answer 2

excited; ended in speaking
