【音】
['fjuːtʃə(r)]
【义】
future用作名词时，表示“将来”。如：
Do you really care nothing about your future?你真的一点也不关心你的将来？
future用作形容词时，表示“将来的”。如：

三、更多拓展
Karen Marsh: The Latest
注意句中的latest本义是late的最高级，表示“最迟的；最晚的”。但是，该词常用作其它含义，主要表示“最新的；最近的”，相当于recent或newest。如：
She should be back by ten o'clock at the latest.她最晚应该在10点前回来。Her latest research takes her point further.她的最新研究进一步深化了她的观点。
