英语的将来:will 和 going to
安排一趟自驾游,得说清哪些是定好的、哪些是临时决定的。英语用两种形式表示将来。
going to —— 事先定好的计划
be + going to + 动词原形
已经决定要做的事,用 going to:
"We are going to visit the Scottish Highlands." → "我们打算去苏格兰高地。"
"She is going to book the campsites in advance." → "她会提前订好营地。"
"I am going to drive the first leg." → "第一段路我来开。"
will —— 当场的决定和承诺
will + 动词原形
说话的这一刻才决定,或者做出承诺,用 will:
"We need fuel." — "I'll stop at the next service station." → 当场做的决定
"I'll help you plan the route." → 一句承诺
"Don't worry — it will be an amazing trip!" → 一般性的预测
预测:going to 还是 will
- going to = 眼前有迹象:Look at the map — we're going to get lost!
- will = 自己的看法:I think it will be the best trip of our lives.
be going to 里的 be 不能省:are going、is going、am going。这一点最容易漏,因为汉语的「要」前面本来就不需要别的成分。
表达

常见错误
We will visit Edinburgh next week — we booked everything.We are going to visit Edinburgh next week.事先定好、都安排妥当的计划,用 going to,不用 will。
I am going to help you — what do you need?I will help you — what do you need?说话当下才决定帮忙,用 will,不用 going to。
It going to rain — look at the clouds.It is going to rain — look at those clouds.be going to 里的 be 动词必须有,而且要正确变位(is/am/are)。
I think we going to stop in Glasgow.I think we are going to stop in Glasgow.be going to 结构里 be 动词不能省,要说 we are going to。
We will to drive to the coastWe will drive to the coastwill 后面直接跟动词原形,中间不加 to。
