這是我在一本原文的英文文法書看到的,
問題就是以下節錄的這一段:
"Dear Emily,
We leave for Spain in just three weeks! It'll be a great trip
over there because we're stopping in London for five days
before we go on to Madrid."
這是書本內頁翻拍照片:

問題就出在第一句:
"We leave for Spain in just three weeks!"
因為就目前所學及找到的資料當中,
用現在簡單式來表示發生在未來的事情只有幾種狀況,
像是出現在以"if"或"after"等副詞子句當中的動詞,
EX: I am going to play after he leaves.
或是表示固定或反復發生的事實,
EX: The train leaves at 10pm.
但"We leave for Spain in just three weeks!"這句似乎不符合上述情況。
感覺用"We are going to leave for .."好像比較合理。
請問是該句有問題,還是我的理解有錯呢?
謝謝大家...
