4. be about to +不定式，意为马上做某事。如：

注意：

1. be about to 不能与tomorrow, next week 等表示明确将来时的时间状语连用。

2. be going to / will的用法之比较：

用于条件句时，be going to表将来，will表意愿。如：

If you are going to make a journey, you'd better get ready for it as soon as possible.

Now if you will take off your clothes, we will fit the new clothes on you in front of the mirror.

3. be to和be going to 的用法之比较：

be to 表示客观安排或受人指示而做某事。而be going to 则表示主观的打算或计划。如：
