e going to与will两者都可表示将要发生的事、将要去做某事,但它们有如下几点区别:
1.be going to 表示近期、眼下就要发生的事情,will 表示的将来时间则较远一些,如:
He is going to write a letter tonight.
He will write a book one day.
2.be going to 表示根据主观判断将来肯定发生的事情,will表示客观上将来势必发生的事情.
He is seriously ill.He is going to die.
He will be twenty years old.
3.be going to 含有“计划,准备”的意思,而 will 则没有这个意思,如:
She is going to lend us her book.
He will be here in half an hour.
4.在有条件从句的主句中,一般不用 be going to,而多用will,如:
If any beasts comes at you,I'll stay with you and help you.
5.若表示没有经过事先计划或考虑,而是在说话的当时临时想到的意图或临时作出的决定时,则要用will.若表示经过事先考虑好的意图时,要用be going to.如:
I’ll answer the telephone.(事先没经过考虑)
I’m going to meet him at the railway station.(已经过考虑)
6.在正式的通知(如新闻媒体公布的官方消息,气象预报等)中用will结构.如:
Ji’an will be cloudy with the temperature from eighteen to twenty-eight.
7.表示有迹象表明要发生某事,只用be going to,不用will.如:
Look at the clouds,it’s going to be another storm.
