“be to do”的用法
一般說來,“be to do” 這種結構有兩種語法意義,一種是連接動詞be 動詞不定式做表語,其次是be to是一個具有情態含義的獨立詞匯單位,可以稱之為情態習語(modal idiom)。
一、be 動詞不定式,不定式做表語,表示主語和表語在概念上是相等的。例如:
The problem is to find a solution.
His plan is to clean the room.
My wish is to be a doctor.
二、be to be在動詞不定式中 to用作情態習語,此時的be to do表示: “計劃”、“安排”、“義務”、“應該”、“可能”、“命運”等。(have to,ought to)。如:
He is to have a holiday. (表示未來)
The committee is to meet today. (表示計劃、安排)
You are to go to the hotel where rooms have already been booked for you.
1. 表示 “將”、“計劃”、“安排”。(意思接近be going to) 如:
Their daughter is to get married soon.
Who is to question him?

After dinner they were to go to a movie.
was/ were to do 說明過去計劃做什么,或者過去應該做什么,從現在的角度來看已經實現了。例如:
I felt nervous because I was soon to leave home for the first time.
I was to play Juliet.
The expedition was to start in a week’s time.
was/ were to have done,表示 “本打算”、“本計劃”或“本應當” 你所做的并沒有完成或發生。例如:
I was to have seen him last Wednesday,but he didn’t come.
We were to have been married last year.
2. 表示 “義務”、“應該” .(意思接近should,must,ought to,have to) 如:
No one is to leave the building. 沒有人能離開這棟樓。
You are not to smoke in this room.=You are not supposed to smoke in this room.
You are to be back by 10 o’clock. 你必須在十點前回來。
3. 表示可能性,相當于can,may 如:

Not a single sound was to be heard. 一點聲音都聽不見。
Not a soul was to be seen. 看不到一個人影。
She was nowhere to be found. 到處都找不到她。

5. 表示 “命運”,未來必然發生的事情,翻譯成 “注定……”。如:

The worst is still to come.
They said goodbye,little knowing they were never to meet again.
6. 用于“if…were to do”,表示虛擬語氣。例如:
If it were to rain tomorrow,the sports meeting would be put off. 如果明天下雨,運動會就會推遲。
