核心问题
是否可以说名词 intention 既可用 of 短语,亦可用动词不定式来作它的后置修饰语?
词典解答
intention 主要是用 of 短语来作其后置修饰语。例如：
-
She had no intention of spending the rest of her life working as a waitress. (EED) 她不想一辈子做侍者。
-
I haven't the slightest intention of marrying her. (Shaw) 我一点也不想娶她。
-
I have every intention of coming back. 我极想返回去。
但是，在较少的场合，也有人用动词不定式来作名词 intention 的后置修饰语：
He confirmed his intention to leave next April...
他肯定了他明年四月离开的打算……
主要用 of 短语来作同位语性定语的名词还有：
aim, impossibility, necessity, possibility, responsibility。
