Next month， I am looking forward to traveling to Australia.

　　Next month， I will go to Australia.

　　Do these 2 sentences have the same meaning? The answer is "no". "Look forward to" is expressing the future and also expressing the excitement which you feel because you really WANT to do it. The truth is next month my boss is sending me to Australia for a business trip， so I am really NOT looking forward to going there.——Allen Mak

　　期望做某事

　　下个月，我期待去澳大利亚旅行。

　　下个月，我要去澳大利亚旅行。

　　这两个句子的意思相同吗？答案是"no"."look forward to"表达的是将来的动作，同时也表达因为你真的想要做一件事而感觉到的兴奋。事实上下个月我老板将派我去澳大利亚出差，因此我并不期望去那里。
