【适用场合】
今天节目中，我们来一起学习一下这个短语，叫mean to do sth.，这个短语可以理解成：
to have the intention, desire, or obligation to do something；
经常理解成：“有意做某事；有计划做某事；”
这个短语经常出现在一般过去时中，表达“原本有计划做某事，但是没能成功”这个意思；
eg: I meant to call you yesterday, but I forgot.
我原本打算昨天打电话给你呢，但是我忘记了。
eg: She meant to apply for the job.
她原本打算申请那份工作的。
eg: I didn't mean to hurt you.
我不是有意伤害你的。
eg: He means to leave early.
他打算早点离开。
eg: I've been meaning to see that new movie everyone is talking about.
我一直想去看那个大家都在讨论的新电影。
eg: A: "Did you wash the car?"
B: "No, I meant to do it yesterday, but I ran out of time."
A：“你把车洗了吗？”
B：“没有，我原本打算昨天洗的，但是没时间了。”
在口语中，我们也可以像今天视频中这样，说：mean for sb. to do something，意思是“原本打算让某个人做某事”；
eg: I didn't mean for you to wait so long.
我原本没打算让你等这么久的。
eg: I meant for you to finish the report by today.
我原本打算让你最晚今天完成报告的。
