关于 be going to do sth 的使用方法,不少书上都有介绍。但我查遍了手头的所有语法书都没讲解以下一句中 be going to 的使用方法:
Getting out of this mess was going to require a fair degree of ingenuity. 要摆脱这一混乱局面需要拥有相当程度的聪明才智。
请专家老师解答一下,万分感谢!
《薄冰高级英语语法》第9.14节对 be going to 的使用方法有如下总结:
1. 表计划,如:
What are you going to do tomorrow? 你明天计划做什么?
注意was going to在下列句子中的特殊含义:
I was going to call on you yesterday. 我本计划昨天去看你来着。
What time were we going to have a picnic? 大家什么耐候要去野餐来的?
2.表马上,如:
Look out! The ice is going to crack! 当心! 冰要裂了!
The wall is going to collapse! 那墙要倒啦!
3.表决心,如:
I’m going to oppose the proposal. 我要反对这项建议。
I’m not going to have this. 我不可以容忍这种行为。
4.表一定,如:
My sister is going to have a baby. 我的姐姐要生小孩了。
There’s going to be trouble. 要出事了。
5.表可能,如:
It’s going to rain. 要下雨了。
Is it going to be fine tomorrow? 明天会是晴天吗?
6.表命令,如:
Now you are going to hurry. 目前你要快点了。
Peter, you are going to sTOP sirring me. 彼得,你不要再叫我“先生”了。
对照以上使用方法,你的句子中的 be going to 的使用方法可理解为表“可能”。
