未曾实现的愿望、打算表达法种种(一)
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:

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 couldnt get rid of the children.
我本想走开,但是我摆脱不了这群孩子。
2. 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,这种用法也只适用于上面列举的动词作谓语时。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:

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。例如:

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。 was / were + 动词不定式的一般式与上下文中的动词过去式搭配,也能表示过去未曾实现的愿望。例如:

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.

注意: was / 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:

他们本应该八点钟到这儿的,但他们迟到了。

我本来要出去的,但天开始下起雨来。

8. 用动词的过去进行时表示未曾实现的安排。例如:
