特殊动词后

　　英语中有hope、wish、expect、think、intend、mean、suppose等表意向、想法、愿望、建议等的动词，采用过去完成时，可以表示“原本…”，其后经常会接由but引导的句子，而该句的谓语动词一般采用一般过去时。如：

　　He had hoped to set a new world record， but was frustrated by bad weather. （他本希望能创造新的世界纪录，但因天气恶劣而未果。）

　　He had thought that he was qualified as a judge. （他曾一度认为他有资格作一位法官。）

　　I had intended to make a cake， but I ran out of time. （我原想做个蛋糕，但没有时间。）

　　We had supposed that we would be able to see more of Shanghai， but time didn‘t permit. （我们本打算能多看看上海，但时间却不允许了。）
