"hoped" in Chinese (Traditional)

希望盼望

Definition

這是“hope”的過去式，表示某人當時希望好事發生，或認為某件事有可能往好的方向發展。

常跟 'that' 或 'to' 連用：'I hoped that...' / 'We hoped to...'. 它比 'expected' 語氣更弱、沒那麼確定。常用於禮貌或帶感情色彩的語境，表示從過去某個時間點來看對未來的希望。

I hoped for sunny weather yesterday.

昨天我**希望**天氣晴朗。

She hoped to see her friend at school.

她**希望**在學校見到朋友。

We hoped the test would be easy.

我們**希望**考試會很簡單。

I hoped you'd call, but I didn't want to bother you.

我**希望**你會打來，但我又不想打擾你。

We'd hoped to leave early, but the meeting ran late.

我們本來**希望**早點走，但會議拖晚了。

Honestly, I hoped for a better answer than that.

老實說，我**希望**得到一個比那更好的回答。
