核心问题
I intend to make a long stay in Changsha. 我打算在长沙长住下去。
上句中的 intend to 能否换为 mean to?
词典解答
intend to do 与 mean to do 都表示“打算”“有……意图”“意欲”，但是，mean to do 更多用于口语体中：
-
I mean to go, and nothing is going to stop me. 我要走了，什么事情也阻挡不了我。
-
She means to succeed. 她立意取得成功。
-
I hear they intend to marry/intend marrying. 听说他们打算结婚了。
另外, intend to do 与 intend doing 同义, 而 mean to do 与 mean doing 的意义不同, 见 mean , intend 。
