如何表达未曾实现的意图、安排和希望
英语中有多种结构可用来表示未曾实现的意图、安排和希望,现归纲如下:

1. I was going to see you last night, but the heavy rain prevented me.
昨晚我本来要来看你,但一场大雨使我来不了了。
2. I was going to finish my article yesterday evening, but my friend arrived, so I did not have time.
昨晚我本来打算写完我的文章,但我的朋友来了,所以我没时间写完。
二 . 用 Was / Were to + 动词不定式完成式表示未曾实现的安排。例如:
1. He was to have given the first talk, but he came late.
他本来要第一个发言,但他来晚了。
2. The plain was to have taken off at six, but something went wrong.
飞机本来在六点钟起飞,但出了故障。
三 . 用 think, expect, suppose, hope believe 等动词的过去完成时,后接宾语从句表示未实现的意图、打算或希望等。例如:
1. Peter had thought the plain would have taken off by the time he arrived at the airport.
彼得原以为在他到达机场时飞机可能已经起飞了。
2. They had hoped that they would be able to see more of Beijing, but time didnt permit.
他们本来希望在北京多看些地方,但时间不允许。
四 . 用 intend, want, plan, hope, expect 等动词的一般过去时,后接不定式的完成式;或用这些动词的过去完成式,后接不定式一般式来表示未实现的意图,打算或希望等。例如:
1. I had intended / wanted / planned / expected to see you off at the airport but got there too late. = I intended / wanted / planned / expected to have seen you off, but I got there too late.
我本来要到机场送你,但到达那里已太迟了。
五 . 用情态动词 + 不定式完成式结构表示未实现的意图,打算或希望。
1. should / ought to have done 表示过去应该做而实际上没有做到,其否定形式则表示过去不该做而实际上做了的动作(含有责备意味)。例如:

你本应该十分钟以前就到这里来。
( 2 ) You shouldnt / oughtnt to have told him about it.

他本来可以向她求助的。
( 2 ) Of course, she could have married him.

六 . with + 宾语从句常用来表示未曾实现的或者不可能实现的愿望,常译为可惜,就好了,但愿等。
1. 表示与现在事实相反,实现不了的愿望。宾语从句中用过去时。例如:
