One way to hold it: the mind already aimed at something before anything happens. You have picked the target — the trip you will take, the person a gift is for, the place a plane was heading. Whether it works out is a separate question; intend only names where the aim was pointing.

可以想成事情還沒發生,心裡已經對準了目標:你選好了要去的那趟旅行、禮物要送的那個人、飛機原本要飛到的地方。最後有沒有做到是另一回事——intend 只說明「當初瞄的是哪裡」。
