I meant to tell you可以理解为I wanted to tell you或者I had the intention of telling you 。这种表述意味着演讲者试图分享一些新闻或信息,但是发生了其他事情,他忘记了或忘记了。当您观看此视频时,演讲者试图告诉您罗斯和雷切尔已受邀,但他们眨了眨眼,并告诉了事实较晚。例子: I meant to tell you yesterday to pick up groceries. (我应该告诉你昨天带杂货。)例子: I meant to tell you our friends are coming over today. (我试图告诉您我们的朋友今天要来玩。)此表达也可以与其他动词配合使用。它可以表示您尝试与其他动词一起使用的东西,但不能。例子: I meant to do the dishes yesterday, sorry about that. (对不起,我昨天决定洗碗。)示例: I meant to change the light bulb, but it slipped my mind. (我试图更换灯泡,但我忘了。)
