糖果单词 8.1 what are you up to, suppose, head for

what are you up to tonight?

你今晚打算去干吗？

Well, I was supposed to be headed for New Jersey and meet my friend, but now, nothing!

我本来应该去新泽西见我朋友的，不过现在看来，啥事也没有了。

what are you up to = what are you doing = what have you been doing

你在干吗呢，（非正式的）

Eg. “Hey, bro, what are you up to?”

“嘿哥们，你在干吗呢？”

“I am working on my essay.”

“我在忙我的论文呢。”

但是如果在”what are you up to”后面加特定时间，比如：what are you up to this summer?

意思是：这个夏天你打算去干吗，有打算的意思。

suppose      /səˈpoʊz/

v. to think that something is likely to be true

猜想，认为（某事是真的或有可能）

Eg. Joe didn’t answer his phone, so I suppose (that) he’s busy.

Joe没有接电话，所以我猜他应该在忙吧。

be supposed to do/be something

to be expected to behave in a particular way, especially according to a rule, an agreement, or someone in authority 应该做某事，被期待是，本来要做某事。

Eg. Candy’s new film is supposed to be (=generally people think it is) very good.

Candy的新电影应该会是不错的。

v. used to show that you think something is true, although you wish that it were not

认为，猜想某事是真的（尽管你希望这不是真的）

head for

To travel toward some destination 前往，出发去

Eg. We headed for New York.

我们出发去纽约。

To set something or someone on a course toward some destination, situation or condition. 使去哪，使面临某种局面或情况（一般负面的）

Eg. You are headed for trouble if you keep telling such lies.

你会面临麻烦如果你再说这种慌的话。

（注意这里的是用的被动，因为在这里的意思是“使面临”，相当于例句中的“you”是被面临麻烦，不是自己主动要面临麻烦。所以在今日单词的第一个例句中可以看出来，说话的人并不想去见他朋友）
