看美剧学英语高频短语：Be about to

明月

Be about to: To be going to (perform an action); If you are about to do something, you are going to do it very soon. If something is about to happen, it will happen very soon. As in I think he's about to leave.

中文释义：表示即将发生的事情。不与表达明确的将来时间连用，如tomorrow, next year, after a week等。此外be about to和be going to都可以表示“将要”，后面跟动词不定式。它们的区别在于，be about to表示马上、即刻要做某事，而be going to则表示计划、打算做某事。例句：I am about to ask him something.（我正打算去问他点事。）
