Complete Vs finished

No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the  
difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.  However, in a recent  
linguistic conference held in London, England, and attended by some  
of the best linguists in the world:  Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese,  
was the clear winner.His final challenge was this:  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.
Here is his astute answer: 

"When you marry the right woman, you are  COMPLETE. 

But, when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED.   

And when the right one catches you with the wrong one,

you are  COMPLETELY FINISHED!"


His answer was received with a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes.

奸笑(呵呵、嘿嘿)

哈哈!婚姻的比喻真是妙!

不過有時finished 也不完全是負面的。

也有達成的意思。

兩者意思相近

過程是如此差別

不過 要想完美的成就還是要經得起考驗啊
