Part II：語法學習
一般將來時
概念解釋：我們講過三種時間的概念：過去、現在、將來。一般將來時就是將要發生的事情，因此，時間上是屬于將來的。
示例1：Captain Alison will sail from Portsmouth tomorrow.(因為明天才發生，所以用將來時)
示例2：We will meet him at the harbor early in the morning.(明天一大早與其會面，所以用將來時)
示例3：He will be in his small boat.(因為是明天一大早的事情，所以用將來時)
示例4：Captain Alison will set out at eight o’clock.(是明天早上8點，所以，用將來時)
示例5：We will have plenty of time.(也是明天早上的事情，所以用將來時)
示例6：We will see his boat.(也是明天要做的事情，所以用將來時)
示例7：We’ll say goodbye to him.(也是明天要做的事情，所以用將來時)
示例8：He will be away for two months.(因為是從他明天離開算起，所以用將來時)
示例9：He will take part in an important race across the Atlantic.(因為是明天出發參加比賽，所以用將來時)

關于一般將來時，請記住以下幾點：
第一，英語中表示將來的概念最先出現的是will作助動詞，因此，這是最常規的，沒有別的意思，只有表示將來的功能。
第二，當will不能滿足某些更精細化的表達需要時，be going to結構誕生了，增加了一定的計劃性。
示例1：I’m going to sleep early tonight.(當然可以用will go to sleep，但沒有這里的計劃性強)
示例2：I’m going to help do the work after I’m finished with him.(當然可以用will help do the work，但沒有這里的計劃性，或打算性)
第三，當be going to形式又不能滿足更更精細的計劃或打算的表達要求時，用現在進行時表示將來的作法就應運而生了。
示例1：I’m afraid I can’t come tomorrow, for I’m having dinner with President Hu Jintao.(與胡主席共進晚餐豈是小事情！有這樣的機會還不知道雙方計劃了多久了呢！所以，只能用一種超常的形式才能表達這種強烈的計劃性！)
示例2：I won’t be able to come to work tomorrow, for I’m getting married.(結婚豈是小事情！如此人生大事還不知道是幾年前就確定好了的呢！)
第四，當will實在無法體現某件事情就要發生的緊迫性的時候，be about to…形式便出現了。
示例1：Run! It’s about to explode!(一顆炸彈馬上就要爆炸！看到這種情況，緊迫不緊迫？那怎么辦呢？不管怎樣，will explode是怎么也不夠了！)
示例2：Let’s run inside that hut! It’s about to rain!(假如看到烏云密布，雷聲陣陣，閃電忽忽！馬上就要下雨了！緊迫不緊迫？那就用be about to…形式)
第五，當will實在無法去體現人們一種沉痛或者堅決或者惡狠狠的狀態時，be to形式又誕生了！
示例1：His house was burnt down last night. We are to help him and his family!(朋友遭受了巨大不幸，我們心情沉重吧？我們想表達一種沉痛和堅決的感情，will不夠啊，怎么辦？用be to形式吧)
示例2：You have completely ruined my plan! You are to die!(對方毀了自己的計劃，恨不恨？當然恨了！那么要表達一種極度的報復怎么辦？不能用will了，因為不夠勁！那就用be to結構吧！)
第六，在表示列車、航班、輪船等按時刻表出發或到達的時候，可以用一般現在時代替將來時，因為在一段時期內，這些交通工具是不能隨便更改時間的，不然就亂套了！
示例1：Flight ASK202 arrives at Pudong International Airport at 2:10 p.m. tomorrow.(雖是明天下午到，但是按照規定時間到的，所以，一般現在時就夠了)
示例2：Train T505 leaves at 18:30 tomorrow evening.(雖是明天晚上出發，但時刻表就是這么定的，所以不能隨便更改！因此，用一般現在時就表示了)
