上面的句子都是关于“……就要……了”的表达,那么具体在语言环境中应该如何运用呢?我们用几个小对话来了解一下:
1.A: Take the umbrella with you. It's about to rain.带着伞,天就要下雨了。
B: OK, thanks for your reminding.好的,谢谢你的提醒。
2.A: Why did you take this work so serious?你为什么把这个工作看得那么重?
B: It's about to become an important part of my life, you know.它将成为我生命中的一个重要部分了,你知道吗?
3.A: Run, run, it's about to collapse!快跑,快,它就要倒塌了!
B: Oh, that's quite close.哦,太惊险了。
4.A: Be prepared, the bus is about to come.做好准备,车就要来了。
B: It's too early now.现在还早呢。
温馨提示:这个句型中包含的固定表达是“be about to do sth.”,意思是“将要,就要……”,跟“will”一样都是说明将来的情况,但是不同的是前者强调的是“即将、马上”,事情的发生近在咫尺的状况。
