looking forward后面要接一个介词to,再跟动词的ing形式。look forward to doing something是期盼做某事的意思。be looking forward to doing形式是表示正期盼做某事,是正在进行时态。
1、两者翻译为汉语,意思相同,都是“盼望;期望”
2、look forward to :这是动词短语,在句子中用作谓语。例:
I look forward to your early reply.
盼早回复。
looking forward to这是现在分词短语,在句子中作状语,或者与be动词连用构成进行时态,作谓语。例:
I【am looking forward to】your early reply.
与be动词连用,构成现在进行时态,作谓语。给人一种印象:正在等待,最好尽快回复。
He looked around,【looking forward to seeing a kind person coming over to help him out of trouble现在分词短语,作状语,表示伴随情况。】
