起初后来用英文怎么说呢

"起初后来"是中文的一个成语，意思是在时间的顺序上先后发生的事情。在英文中，这个概念可以用 "first and then later" 来表达。

这个短语的来源是英语 "first" 和 "then" 这两个词组合而来。"First" 是一个形容词，意思是 "第一"。"Then" 是一个副词，意思是 "然后"。因此，"first and then later" 的意思就是 "先这样，然后后来这样"。

下面是一些英文例句及其中文翻译：

I woke up first and then later I had breakfast. (我先起床，然后后来吃早餐。)
She finished her homework first and then later she watched TV. (她先完成了家庭作业，然后后来看了电视。)
He studied for his exams first and then later he went to the party. (他先为考试学习，然后后来去了聚会。)
