6. favour 善行，恩惠

表示“善行”和“恩惠”的具體內容，其后可接不定式或of doing sth。如：

Do me the favour to open the window. / Do me the favour of opening the window. 勞駕請把窗戶打開。

但在in favour of doing sth（贊成做某事）中，不用不定式。如：

I am in favour of going to the theatre. 我贊成去看戲。

Are you in favour of soaking the rich? 你贊成向富人多征稅嗎?

They decided in favour of reducing the fees. 他們決定減低費用。

7. honour 榮幸，榮譽

表示“有幸做某事”“榮幸地做某事”，說成英語通常是have the honour of doing sth。如：

She has the honor of being given an award. 她榮幸地被授予獎學金。

The mayor has the honor of introducing the President to the audience. 市長榮幸地把總統介紹給觀眾。

She has the singulalr honor of winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry. 她享有獲得諾貝爾化學獎的特殊榮譽。

有時也用have the honour to do sth，但遠不如用上面的結構普通。如：

I have the honour to introduce Mr Jones. 我很榮幸地介紹瓊斯先生。

8. intention 想法，打算

(1) 受物主代詞修飾時，其后通常接不定式作定語。如：

She announced her intention to resign. 她宣布了辭職的打算。

The council has announced its intention to crack down on parking offences. 市政會宣布了打擊違章停車的計劃。

偶爾也接of doing sth，但不如接不定式普通。如：

Megan suddenly announced her intention of selling the house. 梅甘突然宣布她計劃賣掉房子。

(2) 當其前有定冠詞修飾時，通常用不定式。如：

The intention by the local authority to build 2,000 new houses is unrealistic. 當地政府修建2000座新房舍的打算不切實際。

但在with the intention of doing sth這一結構中一般不用不定式。如：

They went into town with the intention of visiting the library. 他們進城的目的是去參觀圖書館。

(3) 當其前有no, every或最高級修飾時（其中的no可視為“無”的極限，every可視為“所有”的極限——均可視為一種間接的最高級），其后通常接of doing sth，一般不接不定式。如：

I have no intention of changing jobs. 我無意變換工作。

We have every intention of winning this competition. 我們一心想贏得這場比賽。

(4) 當其前有any修飾時，用不定式或of doing均可以。如：

In a television interview last night she denied she had any intention of resigning. 在昨晚對她的一次采訪中，她否認有辭職的打算。

The newspaper denies any intention to defame the senator’s reputation. 報紙否認有意要中傷這位參議員的名聲。
