意图

• 拼音: yì tú
• 汉字拆解: 意 = 音 + 心 (sound + heart — thought, intent); 图 = 囗 + 啚 (enclosure + stored granary — a plan, a layout)

含义

Intention; intent; purpose. The deliberate aim or design behind an action, especially in formal, legal, or diplomatic contexts.

More formal than 意思 or 打算. Commonly used in legal discourse (犯罪意图 — criminal intent), political analysis (政治意图 — political intention), and literary criticism (作者意图 — authorial intent). Can function as a noun or, less commonly, as a verb (意图做某事 — to intend to do something). Collocations: 真实意图 (true intent), 隐藏意图 (hidden motive), 战略意图 (strategic intention).

例句

正确说法

• 在评估这项政策调整时，分析人士认为有必要区分其表面的技术性措辞与背后潜藏的政治意图，因为两者之间往往存在显著落差。(When assessing this policy adjustment, analysts argue it is necessary to distinguish between its surface-level technical language and the underlying political intention, as a significant gap often exists between the two.)
• 法庭在量刑阶段将重点审查被告实施伤害行为时的主观意图，以判断其行为究竟属于故意伤害还是因失控情绪引发的冲动行为。(The court will focus in the sentencing phase on examining the subjective intent of the defendant at the time of the harmful act, to determine whether the conduct constitutes intentional injury or an impulsive act resulting from uncontrolled emotion.)

错误说法

• 我有意图去旅行 — 意图 as a verb requires a negation or a context of concealment or suspicion; for simple plans say 我打算去旅行 or 我有意去旅行; 意图做某事 typically implies hidden or contested intent
