It will stop raining by 6 p. m. on Tuesday and the temperature will reach high as 12 degrees.

周四上午五点将暂停下雪,相对湿度将达至置临。

Ill look after your dog while youre on holiday.

你去渡假时就要照料你的狗。

Ill be home all week, so hell have lots of company.

我整座小时都整天,因此会有许多天数陪它。

Well make it on time, stop worrying.

他们会按时到的,不必害怕。

Okay, youll finish the task for homework tonight.

好了,你今晚要完成作业。

“I will”, “you will”, “he/she will”, “they will”, “we will”, so many plans. In English, we use the verb “will” to describe future events.

I will,you will,he/she will,they will,we will,如此多的计划。在英文中,他们用动词 will 来描述将来发生的事情。

There are four key circumstances when you might use the word “will”.

你可以在四种关键的情况下使用 will 这个词。

The first is to make a prediction about something you think will happen in the future.

第一种是预估你认为未来会发生的事情。

“It will stop raining by 6 pm on Tuesday and the temperature will reach highs of 12 degrees.” Using the phrase “it will” imply a degree of certainty like youve done your research or you have evidence to back up your claim.

“雨将于周四上午五点暂停,相对湿度将达至 12 度。”使用短语 it will 意味着一定程度的确定性,比如你已经做了研究或你有证据全力支持你的主张。

If youre saying something without having proof, you could say “Oh, I think it will rain later.” “Why?” – “There are lots of clouds in the sky.” The next use of the word “will” is to offer to do something for somebody.

如果你说的话没有证据,你可以说:“我觉得待会可能会下雪。”“为什么?” – “因为外面乌云密布。”Will 的下一个用法是主动为某人做某事。

In this context, the “will” is less of a certainty and more of an offer.

在这种情况下,will 相比于表达一种确定,更是一种提议。

The person youre offering to help out could accept or decline your offer.

你提供帮助的人可以接受或拒绝你的提议。

“Ill look after your dog while youre on holiday. Ill be home all week so hell have lots of company.” “Yeah, thank you, but my sisters already offered to take care of him.”Its quite common to add a phrase onto the end of an offer like this, such as “if you like” or “if that would help”.

“你去渡假时就要照料你的狗。我整座星期都整天,因此会有许多天数陪它。”“谢谢,但是我的姐姐已经答应照料它了。”在后面加上一句话是很常见的,比如 if you like 或者 if that would help。

“Hey, what are you doing?” “Hi. Im trying to write a letter of resignation to work but Ive been staring at it for too long and now I cant tell if it makes sense.” “I can read through it if you like.” “That would be so helpful, thank you.” By saying “I can read through it if you like”, youre saying you would only want to read through the letter if your friend wants you to.

“嘿,你在干嘛?”“嗨,我想写一封辞职信,但我盯着它看了很长天数了,不知道有没有写对。”“如果可以,我帮你看看。”“这真的能帮上忙,谢谢。”说 I can read through it if you like,你是在说,只有在你朋友同意的情况下,你才会看这封信。

It can make the offer seem more polite and you might use it if youre worried that you might be stepping on somebodys toes or make it seem less forceful.

这可以让提议看起来更礼貌,如果你害怕你会冒犯到别人,你可以这样说,或让你说的话听起来没那么强势。

Another use of the word “will” is to promise or reassure someone of something that you believe to be true.

Will 的另一种用法是向某人允诺或保证你认为是真实的事情。

“Well make it on time, stop worrying.” Notice how with this example, weve used a contraction of “we will” to make the word “well”, “well”.

“他们会按时到的,不必害怕。”注意在这个例子中,他们用了 we will 的缩写,变成 well,well。

Similarly to when we make a prediction the word “will” is used here to show certainty.

类似地,当他们做预估时,will 用于表示确定性。

It is supposed to be comforting because youre promising that something will certainly happen.

它起到安慰人的作用,因为你允诺某事一定会发生。

“Well make it on time, stop worrying.” “Well, we were supposed to be there half an hour ago.” But sometimes people use it to make promises they just cant deliver.

“他们会按时到的,别害怕。”“他们半个小时前就该到的。”但有时人们用它来作出无法兑现的允诺。

And finally, you can use the word “will” to describe a decision youve just made.

最后,你可以用 will 来描述你刚刚做的决定。

This implies that its a spur of the moment decision that was not planned in advance.

这意味着这是一时冲动的决定,而不是事先计划好的。

Im going to show you two different conversations and Id like you to pay close attention to the difference.

我将给你们展示两个不同的对话,我希望你们仔细留意它们的区别。

“Im going to cook spaghetti bolognese tonight but oh, we dont have any pasta.” “Ah, Im going to the supermarket on my way home.” “Oh, are you?” “Yeah, Ill add it to the list.” “Yeah, Im going to cook spaghetti bolognese tonight, oh, um hang on, we dont have any pasta.” “Ill stop at the supermarket on my way home.” “That would be so helpful, thanks.” Notice how in the first conversation, “Im going to the supermarket on the way home” was used to explain that the plan was all ready to go to the supermarket.

“今晚我要做意大利肉酱面,但是,噢,他们没有意大利面。”“我在回家的路上顺便去趟超市。”“是吗?”“就要买回来的。”“今晚我要做意大利肉酱面,等等,他们没有意大利面。”“回家的路上就要在超市停一下。”“真好,谢谢你。”注意在第一个对话中,Im going to the supermarket on the way home 是用来解释去超市的计划已经打算好了。

This was not a new plan, it was planned in advance.

这不是一个新计划,这是事先计划好的。

However, in conversation two, “Ill stop at the supermarket on my way home” told us that this plan had just been made.

然而,在对话二中,Ill stop at the supermarket on my way home 告诉他们这个计划是刚刚决定的。

So to recap, we have learned about four uses for the word “will”.

回顾一下,他们已经学习了 will 的四种用法。

Number one, to make a prediction.

第一,预估。

“The bears will win this game, they always beat the tigers.” Number two is to offer to do something for someone.

“熊将赢得这场比赛,它们总是打败老虎。”第二种是主动为别人做些事情提建议。

“Ill make you a cup of tea if you like.” Number three is to make a promise.

“如果你想喝的话,我给你泡杯茶。”第三是作出允诺。

“I will call you as soon as I know more.” And number four is to describe a recent decision.

“一有消息我就给你打电话。”第四个是描述最近做的一个决定。

“Ah, Ill buy Chris a skateboard for Christmas.” So now, its your turn, in the comments, Id like you to write four four different sentences using the verb “will”.

“我要给克里斯买个滑板作为圣诞礼物。”现在轮到你们了,在评论中,我希望你们用动词 will 写出四个不同的句子。

One prediction, one offer, one promise and one decision.

一个预估,一个提议,一个允诺和一个决定。

If your sentences are perfect, I will use the heart button and Ill correct any mistakes otherwise.

如果你的句子写得完美,就要给你点赞,否则,就要帮你改错。

Okay, so until next time, dont forget to give this video a big thumb up and once youve done your sentences, then why not come and join me in another lesson?

好了,下次再见,别忘记给这个音频点赞,一旦你写好你的句子,为什么不来和我一起上另一堂课呢?

Ill see you there.

那里见。
