Over the October holiday, my parents and I are planning to go to Xi’an to see theTerracotta Army.
这是 2019版人教版高中英语新教程必学一的Unit 2(p30)的句子。
请问这句的 are planning 为何进行时态?它与用一般目前有不同吗?
赞同曹老师的剖析,plan 用于一般目前时,planto do sth 与intendto do sth 同义。如:
We plan to visit late in July. 大家计划在7月底出访。
He plans to keep a pub when heretires. 他计划退休后开酒馆。
We plan to computerize our billingsystem. 大家计划用电脑来计费。
I plan to study journalism at college.我计划读大学时学新闻专业。
We plan to spend the weekenddecorating. 大家计划用这个周末来装修。
plan用于目前进行时,有多层意思:
一是表示“正在计划”(还没作出最后决定)。如:
The government is planning to fragmentthe industry before privatizing it. 政府正计划将该产业拆分后再进行私有化。
The design company is planning to joinup with a shoe manufacturer and create a new range of footwear. 这家设计公司正计划与一家鞋厂联手推出一系列新鞋。
二是表示“临时性计划”。如:
We are planning to go home tomorrow. 大家计划明天回家。
Police are planning to drag the pondlater this morning. 警方正计划今天上午晚些时候在池塘里进行打捞搜寻。
