- 1v/ment/mean 的過去式
The past tense and past participle of 'mean' — used to talk about what something stood for, what someone wanted to say, or what someone planned to do.
「meant」就是動詞 mean 的過去式和過去分詞,唸法跟 mean 不同,是短短的 /ment/,不是 /miːnt/。它一樣有三個方向:表示某個意思(The red light meant stop)、想表達的意思(I meant to say sorry 我本來想說的是抱歉)、本來打算做某事(I meant to call you 我本來想打給你)。be meant to 還可以表示「應該」或「本來是要…的」。
