未曾实现的愿望表达

未曾实现的愿望表达

英语中对未曾实现的愿望及打算的表达①I would love ______to the party last night,but I had to work extra hours to finish a report.A. to goB. to have goneC. goingD. having gone②-Alice,why didn’t you come yesterday?-l____,but I had an unexpected visitor.A. hadB. wouldC. was going toD. did在①中根据would love之后接不定式,可排除C和D两选项,但A和B两选项中谁是最佳答案,许多同学都拿不准,其原因是他们对不定式一般式和完成式的用法区别弄不清楚。

我们知道不定式一般式常用来表示发生在谓语动词动作之后的动作,相对于谓语动词来说是将来时,因此,根据题意,A不宜选,那么只有B才可选了。

此题的题意是“昨晚我本想去参加晚会的,但为了写完一份报告我不得不多工作了几个小时。

”言外之意就是昨晚没有去参加晚会。

在英语中不定式的完成式与表示愿望的would love/like连用可表达这个意思。

故B为正确答案。

在②中此题是一道情景题,在解题时一定要理解对话的情景,特别是第二个人的答语中的后半部分,这部分是一个表示意义转折的分句,其意思是“但没想到来了一位不速之客”,说明昨晚没有来的理由;根据转折分句前后两部分的逻辑关系,前半部分应为“我本来准备来的”之意,在A,B,C,D四个选项中唯有C项可表达此意,因为A项had是个助动词,其后省略了come,而hadcome则是过去完成式,表示的是过去的过去,与第一个人提到的时间相矛盾;D项did也是一个助动词。

在答语中代替came以免重复,如果用它则说明的是一个事实“我来了”,这样就与后半部分“but I had anunexpected visitor”之意相矛盾;C 项would有两个作用,一是作情态动词,表示“意愿”,二是作助动词,表示过去将来时或习惯,它只有与不定式的完成式连用才能表示“本想做某事而结果没做”之意(would have),而此题如果选它,其后省去的是come;而C项was going to表示将来,有“打算”之意,其后接动词原形可表示一种过去未曾实现的打算或计划,意为“本打算……”“本想……”以上两例是曾在高考试题中考查过的对未曾实现的愿望及打算的英语表达。

初中三年未实现的愿望英语作文The three unfulfilled wishes during my junior high school yearsDuring my three years in junior high school, there were three wishes that I was not able to fulfill. Each wish represented a distinct aspect of my life, and although they remain unfulfilled, they have shaped me into the person I am today.The first wish I had was to become the captain of the school soccer team. Ever since I started playing soccer in elementary school, I dreamed of leading a team to victory on the field. However, due to my lack of physical strength and skills compared to other students, I was not selected as the captain. Although disappointed at first, this experience taught me humility and the importance of teamwork. It made me realize that being a leader is more than just having talent; it requires dedication and working together with others towards a common goal.(在我初中三年里,有三个愿望未能实现。

在英语学习中如何表达“过去未曾实现的愿望、打算”
作者:赵留庚
来源:《中国校外教育·高教(下旬)》2014年第14期
英语中有多种结构可以用来表示“未曾实现的愿望、意图或打算”,现归纳如下:
1.“动词的过去完成时形式+动词不定式的一般式”结构表示“过去未曾实现的愿望”时,只适用于 hope,expect,think,mean,intend,suppose,want,plan等动词作谓语时。

例如:
I had hoped to come to help yo u. Something happened to me. That’s why I didn’t come.我本希望能来帮助你,但我出了点事,所以没有来。

I had meant to go away but couldn’t get rid of the children.
我本想走开,但是我摆脱不了这群孩子。

2.“hope(expect,think,mean,intend,suppose,want,plan等动词)的过去式 +动词不定式的完成式”结构表示“过去未曾实现的愿望”。

例如:
I wanted to have seen you off at the airport but I got there too late.我本来想到机场送你,但是我到那里太迟了。

Tom hoped to have come,but he was too busy at that time.
汤姆本想来的,但当时他太忙了,抽不出时间。

3.“动词的过去式+宾语+动词不定式的完成式”结构表示“过去未曾实现的愿望”,这一用法常用于 expect,want,mean,intend等动词作谓语时。

例如:My father expected me to have studied medicine,but I joined the army.我父亲本来指望我学医的,但是我却参军了。

We meant them to have acted like that.我们原打算让他们这样干的。

4.用“think,expect,suppose,hope,believe等动词的过去完成时形式+宾语从句”表示“过去未曾实现的意图、打算或希望等”。

They had hoped that they would be able to see more of Beijing,but time didn’t permit.他们本来希望在北京多看些地方,但时间不允许。

5.“was/were+动词不定式的完成式”结构表示“过去未曾实现的愿望”。

Alice was to have given the first talk,but she came late.
爱丽斯本来要第一个发言,但她来晚了。

The plane was to take off / to have taken off at six,but something went wrong.飞机本来六点起飞,但是出了故障。

注意:“w as / were+动词不定式的完成式”结构有时含有“本应该”的意味,相当于“was / were supposed to”。

例如:
They were to have come here at eight,but they were late.
他們本应该八点钟到这儿的,但他们迟到了。

6.用“was/were going+动词不定式”结构与上下文中的动词过去式搭配,可以表示“过去未实现的意图或打算”。

“Tom,why didn’t you come to the meeting yesterday?”
“汤姆,你为什么昨天没来参加会?”

例如:I was about to go out, but it began to rain.
我本来要出去的,但天开始下起雨来。

迈克正要开始发言,但约翰先讲了。

8.用动词的过去进行时表示“未曾实现的安排”。

例如:
