mean to do和mean doing的区别

mean to do和mean doing的区分

．mean to do是“打算,企图”的意思.Mean doing是表示“意味着”的意思.如：

I mean to stay here for a long time.我打算在这儿呆很久.
Missing the train means waiting for another hour.
赶不上火车预示着要再等一个小时.
Revolution means liberating the productive forces.革命意味着解放生产力.

．mean通常不与否定的动词不定式搭配.如：
I did not mean to hurt you.我并不是故意得罪你.
（不说：I meant not to hurt you.）
I meant no harm to you.我对你并无恶意.
（不说：I meant not to harm you.）

mean to sth的意思是“打算做某事”；

到选择题里根据句义判断就可以了,没有什么特殊的用法,不过是两个动词短语.
