我原来不想去的 first, place, there

I don't want to go there in the first place.

我原来不想去的。

有读者问我 "我原来是不想去的" 这个"原来" 在英文中要怎么说。大家可以看到在这个句子中 in the first place 就是英文中" 原来" 怎么样的意思。这算是相当固定的用法，像我以前都会说成 in the first beginning ，但我从没听老美这么说过，所以我想 in the first place 应该才是最正确的用法。

In the first place?
I always use "in the first time".
