问题描述
表示建房子和桥梁通常是要 complete 的，对不对？
The bridge was supposed to have been completed by 1992.
如果用 finish 呢？就算错吗？
老师答疑
好老师：
Yes, you can use the word "finish" to replace “complete”. For example, When the bridge to the Hoekse Waard was finished in 1964, people could drive from Zeeland to South-Holland by car.
However, to my mind, the word complete sounds more formal.

如果把complete换成 finish，也是可以的，不过用complete会更好，因此表示完美结束意味，finish没有这个意味，指表示完成。
