be going与will

◆相同点：

“be going to结构”与“will+动词原形”均可表示将来的情况，它们有时可以互换使用。如：

I am going to tell Jim about it. 

= I will tell Jim about it.

◆不同点：

1. “be going to结构”表示将要发生的动作或安排，特别是打算、计划、决定要做的事，而“will+动词原形”常用来客观陈述将来某个时间要发生的动作或存在的状态。如：

I’m going to buy a beautiful gift for my cousin on her birthday.

We will know the result tomorrow.

2. “be going to结构”和“will+动词原形”均可表示“预见”，但是“be going to结构”强调现在已有迹象表明将要发生或即将发生某种情况，而“will+动词原形”则带有说话人的主观态度和看法。如：

It has turned very cold. It’s going to snow.

I think people will live to be 200 years old in the future.
