英語原文
Periphrastic Future. — A periphrastic future is formed by μέλλω I am about to, intend to, am (destined) to, am likely to (strictly think) with the present or future (rarely the aorist) infinitive. Thus ἃ μέλλω λέγειν σοὶ πάλαι δοκεῖ what I am going to say has long been your opinion X. C. 3.3.13 (cp 1885), Κλέανδρος μέλλει ἤξειν Cleander is on the point of coming X. A. 6.4.18, θήσειν ἔμελλεν ἄλγεα he purposed to inflict suffering B 39, ἔμελλον ὄλβοις εἶναι I was destined to be happy σ 138, εἴ ποτε πορεύοιτο καὶ πλεῖστοι μέλλοιεν ὄψεσθαι, προσκαλῶν τοὺς φίλους ἐσπουδαιολογεῖτο if ever Cyrus was on the march and many were likely to catch sight of him, he summoned his friends and engaged them in earnest talk X. A. 1.9.28.
a. The present infinitive usually occurs with μέλλω as a verb of will, the future infinitive with μέλλω as verb of thinking.
b. The aorist is used when it is important to mark the action as ingressive, resultive, or complexive : ὅπερ μέλλω παθεῖν what I am doomed to suffer A. Pr. 625.
c. μέλλω I delay usually takes present, rarely the aorist, infinitive.
d. πῶς οὐ μέλλω and τί οὐ μέλλω mean why should I not ? Thus, τί δ᾿ οὐ μέλλει γελοῖον εἶναι; how should it not be ridiculous? P. R. 530a.
