我已经选好了主要演员，打算明年一月上演这出戏。
intend意为“打算，意图”，常用于intend to do结构。如：鶺hat do you intend to do in the summer holidays﹖你打算暑假干什么？注意：had intended to do相当于intended to have done表示过去有此打算，但未能实现。如：鶬 intended to have finished the work last week．我原本打算上周完成工作的。（实际上未完成）鷌ntend还可作“意指”，通常用被动语态。鶷his new book is intended for children．这本新书是给儿童读的。鶷his was intended to be a picture of a cat．这幅画本来是画猫的
