好,这里给你做一份 《英语目的表达终极地图(Purpose Map)》

学完这一个体系,你基本就能掌握 90%英语表达“为了……”的方式

我会按 最常用 → 进阶 → 高级表达 来讲,并配上例句。


一、英语“为了……”的核心结构地图

表达目的(Purpose)

最常用

├── to + 动词

├── in order to + 动词

├── so as to + 动词

进阶表达

├── for + 名词

├── for + 动词ing

完整句表达

├── so that + 句子

└── in order that + 句子

二、最核心结构:to + 动词(90%情况)

结构

Action + to + verb

例句

I study English to improve my speaking

我学习英语为了提高口语。

She exercises to stay healthy

记忆公式

做什么 → 为了什么

例:

三、正式表达:in order to

语气 比 to 正式一点

结构

in order to + verb

例句

He woke up early in order to catch the train

She saved money in order to travel

We left early in order to avoid traffic


否定

in order not to

例:

四、较书面表达:so as to

结构

so as to + verb

例句

She whispered so as to avoid attention

He studied hard so as to pass the exam

口语中 很少用


五、for + 名词(表示用途)

很多中国人容易混淆 to 和 for

结构

for + 名词

例:

I went to the store for milk

我去商店买牛奶。

This knife is for bread

这个刀是用来切面包的。


六、for + doing

表示 用途

结构

for + verb ing

例:

这个工具是用来切木头的。

A pen is for writing

笔是用来写字的。


七、完整句表达:so that

有时候目的 必须是一个完整句子

结构

so that + 主语 + can / will

例:

I speak loudly so that everyone can hear me

She wrote it down so that she wouldn’t forget

她写下来以免忘记。


八、最高级表达:in order that
