be going to

be going to

be going to是新標準英語(七年級下冊Module3)里講到的一種句型,它表示將來打算、計畫去做或者有意去做的事。

注意

與will的區別

be going to與will相似,但用法不同。

試看下面的對話:

A:The detergent has been used up.

洗潔精已用光了。

B:I'm going to get some today.

今 天我要去買些

C:I'll get some today

乍然看來,B和C的答話的意思是一樣的,都是:“今天我要去買些”,其實不然。B用 am going to get回答A,其言外之意是:“在A講洗潔精用完這句話之前,他早已心中有數,並且早就有去買洗潔精的打算”。C用will get來回答,表示:“事前並不知道洗潔精已用完,原先也沒有打算去買,直等到A講了之後,他才決定去買”。

通過上面的例句,我們可以知道下列對話中B、C的回答的不同涵義了:

A:Where is my dictionary?

B:I'm going to get it for you.

C:I'll get it for you.

此外,be going to和will還有下列的區別:

(一)be going to表示即將發生的動作;will表示將來發生的事情,不一定是最近期間之事。例:

She told her she was going to quit the job.

她告訴他,她即將辭職不乾。

She will go to Australia next year.

她明年將要去澳洲。

(二) be going to可以用以表示某人打算做某事;will則用以敘述某件將要發生之事。前者含有主觀意願;後者只是客觀的敘述。例:

He is not going to be made a scapegoat.

他不會去做替罪羊。

He will not beome a scapegoat.

他不會做替罪羊。

(三)在表示按計畫或安排要發生的動作時,可以用be going to;will只表示單純的將來,並無按規定或計畫之意。例:

The railway is going to be open on October 1.

這條鐵路將於十月一日通車。

This railway will be electrified when there is a need.

這條鐵路將在需要時電氣化。

其他

1..當be going to後接come、leave、go、等表示位置移動的動詞時,直接用進行時表達。

例:Tom is leaving for Tokyo next week.

Tom計畫在下個禮拜動身去東京。

2.There be結構與be going to的連用,構成There is/are going to be等於There will be

例:There is going to be a singing competition this evening.

今天晚上將有一場歌詠比賽。

特例

在陳述句和疑問句中,我們常常可以用going to來代替will。在類似下列的句子中我們不能用going to:

You will enjoy yourself if you travel by sea.如果你乘船旅遊,你會玩的很開心。

此句中“enjoy yourself‘是一個詞組,意為”祝你玩的愉快”,不能用going to 代替will。

例句

We use be going totalk about :

(1) I am going topaddle the Boat Housea cross Victoria Harbour .

(2) It is raining and we do not have an umbrella.We are going toget wet .

We make positive and negative statements using be going to like this :

(3) I am/'m going tobecome successful .

(4) You/We/They are/'re going tobecome successful .

(5) He/She/It is/'s going to become successful .
