全文是这样的
The School Holidays Are Too Long
Today the children of this country have at last returned to work. After two months' holiday pupils have started a new term. How many adults get such long holidays? Two to four weeks in the summer and public holidays—that's all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she's lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don't need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.
In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.
This isn't just a national problem either—it's worldwide. Dates may be different from country to country, but the pattern's the same. Why should children do half as much work and get twice as much holiday as their parents?
那个at last 怎么理解啊?

今天,这个国家的孩子们终于又开学了。at last表达一种“终于到来,无可避免”的意思。全文里面是在感叹假期的少,学生负担的重。所以综合起来看at last就是有这个含意在里面。

今天这个国家的孩子们终于回到了他们的工作岗位上

at last
最终,终于

at last 最终
今天,这个国家的小孩最终都回到他们的工作岗位上了

今天,在这个国家的小孩最后都回来学习
at last 最终

如今这个国家的孩子最终回去工作了
