mean to do和be meant to do有什么区别吗?
区别:
一、含义不同
mean to do是打算做;有意做的意思,be meant to do是有照道理、照规矩,应该做某件事的含义,如:Do not think you and I need not examine ourselves or be on guard because it is meant for only a few people and has nothing to do with us. 不能解释为这个决议只是针对个别的人,对于我们、对于我自己无关,因而可以疏于检查和防范。
二、搭配不同
mean to do后面接动词原形,mean通常不与否定的动词不定式搭配。如:Don't be too hard on the boy; he didn't mean to do it. 对这个小男孩不要太严厉了,他不是故意这么做的。 I did not mean to do it,我的意思是我们的本意并非如此。
