Complete与finish的区别

2012年，在伦敦举行的语言大赛中，圭亚那选手Samsunder Balgobin 在回答比赛中最后一道问題＂你如何用一种容易让人理解的方式解释complete与finished 的区别”時，給出了他的答案：When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. （娶对老婆，你这一生就完整了。）  
        
When you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. （娶错老婆，你这一生就完蛋了。）

And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED.      （让大老婆逮到你跟小三，你就彻底地完蛋了。）

担任比赛的全世界一流的语言学家将桂冠戴在了这位选手的头上，奖品是环球游和一箱25年窖龄的朗姆酒，全场观众和评委为他起立鼓掌长达5分钟。

"Some say there is no difference between complete and finished. Please explain the difference between complete and finished in a way that is easy to understand." His astute answer: "When you marry the right woman, you are complete. But, when you marry the wrong woman, you are finished. If the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are completely finished." His answer was received with a standing ovation. - - - *

(This is not accurate, of course. The American Heritage dictionary, defines "complete" as Having all necessary or normal parts or steps; ended, concluded; brought to a finish. It defines "finished" as highly accomplished or skilled; doomed to death or destruction; no longer useful.)
