三、一般将来时的其他表达法
1. “be going to+动词原形”表示将来
(1)表示打算、计划、决定要做的事或肯定要发生的事。例如:

(2)表示说话人根据已有的事实或迹象,认为某事即将发生、肯定会发生或可能出现的情况。例如:

The question is going to be very complex. 这个问题将会很复杂。
The voters aren’t going to like him. 选民们不会喜欢他的。
(4)be going to和will的区别
①will表示说话人认为、相信、希望或假定要发生的事,不含任何具体的时间,可以指遥远的将来;而be going to 指有迹象表明某事即将发生或肯定发生,通常指很快就要发生的事情。例如:
Listen to the wind. We are going to have a rough crossing. 听那风声,我们横渡时一定困难很大。
She will not shove the heavy load onto others. 她不愿意把重担推给别人。
He will get better. 他的病会好的。(即认为最终会恢复健康,而不是马上恢复)
He is gong to get better. 他的病就会好了。(指有恢复的迹象)
②be gong to 和will均可表示意***,但事先考虑过的意***用be going to,没有事先考虑过的意***用will。
―Why have you torn the paper into pieces? 你怎么把论文撕了?
―I am going to rewrite it. 我要重写。(事先考虑,不用will)
―Is it really a big stone? 它真的是一个大石头?
―I will help you to move it. 我要帮你搬动它。(未经事先考虑,不用be going to)
He will go his own way. 他一意孤行。
I won’t do so. 我不愿这样做。
③be going to可以用在条件状语从句中表示将来,而will不能。例如:

If you are going to accept the job, start to work now. 如果你想接受这项工作,从现在开始上班。(不用will)
2. 现在进行时表示将来

I’m leaving for Hongkong on Sunday. 星期天我要去香港。

He is not coming. 他不来了。
They are arriving tomorrow afternoon. 他们明天下午到达。
(2)进行时表示将来与be going to的区别
be going to表示说话前事先考虑过的意***(intend),现在进行时表示事先安排的动作(plan);若有迹象表明某事即将发生或肯定发生,用be going to,不用现在进行时。例如:

Mary and Jane are meeting tonight. 玛丽和简晚上碰面。(事先安排的动作)

The ship is about to sail. 轮船马上就要启航。
比较 be about to&be not about to的差异

He is not about to do wrong again. 他不愿再做错事了。
4. “be to+动词原形”表示将来
