at the eleventh hour最后一刻，最后时刻；最后关头；最危急的时刻；关键时刻
at the Eleventh hour不是“在十一点”；在十一点是at 11（o’clock）或at eleven o'clock:
源自《新约·马太福音》20 章。故事说：有个葡萄园园主想雇几个工人到葡萄园去干活，他从一大早就开始雇人，前后雇了几批工人到园里干活。古代中东人把日出日落分为十二等分（每一等分为一个 hour），雇到最后一批人的时候已是黄昏时刻(the eleventh hour),但是付工钱时，早上来的和傍晚来的都一视同仁地得到了一整天工资（一枚银币），弄得一大早就开始干活的人极为不满，心想早知如此，还不如十一点钟来，因为只要不超过十二点，都能得到同样的报酬。后来人们就用 at the eleventh hour 来表示“在最后一刻”，“在最后的关头”。
