I mean the red one, not the green one. 我說的是那個紅的,不是那個綠的。 三是表示“意味著”,后面可以接名詞、動名詞、從句。例如: Silence means consent. 沉默就是同意。 To persevere means victory!堅持就是勝利。 To take it apart now would mean wasting a lot of labour. (接動名詞)現在把它拆卸開,就意味著浪費大量的勞動力。 Revolution means liberating the productive forces. 革命意味著解放生產力。 This mean we have to wait another week or so.(接從句)這就意味著我們還得等一個星期左右。 注意下列情況:作為“意味著”含義,可以跟復合結構。 例如: This also meant many smaller ditches to be dug and more fields to be leveled. 這意味著要挖許多小水渠和平整更多土地。 四是表示“打算;有……意圖”,后面接名詞、代詞、不跟賓語、動詞不定式,不定式的復合結構。例如: Anybody could see that he meant no harm. 誰都看得出他沒有惡意。 They probably meant well. 他們或許用心是好的。 What do you mean to do with it? 你打算把它怎樣處理?
