—Why didn’t you go to Water-park? It was so exciting.
—I _____ to, but my uncle came suddenly.
A . wished B. hoped C. meant D. expected
【答案】C
【疑问】 expect 也可以表示“打算”,例如:I expected to see Mt. Fuji but the weather was terrible . 我本打算去游富士山,无奈天公不作美。(摘自《外研社英汉多功能词典》)所以,我认为 C. meant 和 D. expected 都是正确的。
曾老师:
同意黎老师的分析。严格地说,这道题目的设计不是很严谨。又如:
I expect to be there this evening. 我打算今晚到那里去。《21世纪英汉汉英双向词典》
This year the commune expects to increase the area of its salt fields to 45,000mu. 今年公社打算把盐场面积扩大到四万五千亩。(张道真《英语常用动词用法词典》)
