喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/ɪnˈtenʃən/打算／意圖

    A plan or wish to do something.

    示範例句 · Example

    I have no intention of giving up now.

    逐字我沒有任何打算要現在放棄。

    「intention」是「你心裡打算要做某件事」，比 plan 更強調心裡那個決定，事情還不一定真的做出來。常用 have no/every intention of doing（完全不打算／一定要），或 with the intention of（打算要、為了）。good intentions 指「好意」，常帶一點「可惜沒做到」的味道。

Picture the arrow already aimed but not yet released: the action has not happened, and the direction is already decided. This word names what is in a person's mind before they move — what they are aiming at, whether or not it ever comes off.

可以想成：箭已經對準了，但還沒放出去——事情還沒發生，方向卻已經定了。這個字說的就是行動之前腦子裡的那個瞄準點：你打算往哪裡去。至於後來有沒有做到，是另一回事，這個字只負責前面那一段。
