be going to,will區別不少:
Be going to在表示“將要”的意味時,很容易和will混淆不清。
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.
C:I'll get some today.
乍然看來,乙和丙的答話的意思是一樣的,都是:“今天我要去買些”,其實不然。乙用 am going to get回答甲,其言外之意是:“在甲講洗潔精用完這句話之前,他早已心中有數,并且早就有去買洗潔精的打算”。丙用will get來回答,表示:“事前并不知道洗潔精已用完,原先也沒有打算去買,直等到甲講了之后,他才決定去買”。
通過上面的例句,我們可以知道下列對話中乙、丙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 him she was going to quit the job.
她告訴他,她即將辭職不干。
She will go to Australia next year.
她明年要去澳洲。
(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。前者含有主觀意愿;后者只是客觀的敘述。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)在表示按計劃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,并無按規定或計劃之意。例:
The railway is going to be open on October 1.
這條鐵路將于十月一日通車。
This railway will be electrified when there is a need.
be going to與will的區別
be going to與will兩者都可表示將要發生的事、將要去做某事,但它們有如下幾點區別:
1. be going to 表示近期、眼下就要發生的事情,will 表示的將來時間則較遠一些,如:
He is going to write a letter tonight.
He will write a book one day.
2. be going to 表示根據主觀判斷將來肯定發生的事情,will表示客觀上將來勢必發生的事情。
He is seriously ill. He is going to die.
He will be twenty years old.
3. be going to 含有“計劃,準備”的意思,而 will 則沒有這個意思,如:
She is going to lend us her book.
He will be here in half an hour.
4.在有條件從句的主句中,一般不用 be going to, 而多用will, 如:
If any beasts comes at you, I'll stay with you and help you
