be to do的用法
一般说来,be to do 这个结构有两种语法意义,其一是连系动词be+动词不定式做表语,其二是be to是一个独立词汇单位,具有情态含义,可以把它叫做情态习语(modal idiom)。
一、be +动词不定式,不定式做表语,表示主语和表语在概念上是等同的。如:
The problem is to find a solution.
His plan is to clean the room.
My wish is to be a doctor.
二、be to +动词不定式中的be to用作情态习语,这时的be to do表示: 计划、安排、义务、应该、可能、命运等。(have to,ought to)。如:
He is to have a holiday. (表示将来)
The committee is to meet today. (表示计划、安排)
You are to go to the hotel where rooms have already been booked for you.
