在终点前可以用英语表示为 "before the end" 或 "prior to the end."

这两个表达的来源都是源自英语的前缀 "pre-" 和后缀 "-or," 其中 "pre-" 意为 "before"，"-or" 意为 "one who does or performs something." 因此 "before the end" 可以解释为 "在结束之前"，"prior to the end" 可以解释为 "在结束之前的."

下面是一些例句和翻译：

We need to finish this project before the end of the month. (我们需要在本月底前完成这个项目.)
He arrived at the party just before the end. (他在派对结束前刚刚到达.)
Please turn in your homework prior to the end of class. (请在课结束前交上你的作业.)
We need to make a decision before the end of the week. (我们需要在本周末前做出决定.)
