it is meant that if they dont prepare, they die. I see no need for further argument。

meant在这是形容词吗?的意思是?

It is meant that if they dont prepare, they die.

理解句子,第一要考虑动词的使用方法和句型,要掌握动脑子。网友应该了解这个句型是如何变来的吧:It is said that ... 上面的句子跟它是一个道理。

mean 的其中一个使用方法是,接宾语从句。比如:

I mean that...

He means that...

We mean that...

They mean that...

你把上句改为主动语态,一种可能的变法,就是:

It is meant that if they dont prepare, they die. =

We mean that if they dont prepare, they die.

(大家的)意思是,假如他们不作筹备,他们就死。
