"in order to" 是英语中表目的的常用短语,意为 "为了;以便(达成某个目标/结果)",用来明确说明做某件事的目的或动机。
"in order to" 是不定式结构的目的状语,后面必须接动词原形(即 "in order to + 动词原形"),用来修饰前面的谓语动词或整个句子,说明动作的目的。
句中(更常见):放在谓语动词之后,说明动作的目的。
例:I study hard in order to pass the final exam.(我努力学习是为了通过期末考试。)
例:She took a part-time job in order to earn some pocket money.(她做兼职是为了赚点零花钱。)
句首:用于强调目的,后面接主句(注意句首时,"in order to" 引导的部分后需用逗号隔开)。
例:In order to improve her public speaking skills, she joined a debate club.(为了提高公众演讲能力,她加入了辩论俱乐部。)
例:In order to catch the early bus, he got up at 6 a.m.(为了赶上早班车,他早上6点就起床了。)
表示"为了不(做某事)",否定词 "not" 置于 "to" 之前。
例:He walked slowly in order not to wake the sleeping baby.(他走得很慢,以免吵醒熟睡的婴儿。)
例:She turned off the TV in order not to be distracted while studying.(她关掉电视,以免学习时分心。)
"in order to" 后接动词原形(不定式),而 "in order that" 后接完整的从句(常需用情态动词如 can/could/will/would 等),两者同义,但结构不同。
例1:I practice English every day in order to communicate with foreigners.(= I practice English every day in order that I can communicate with foreigners.)(我每天练习英语,以便能和外国人交流。)
例2:She saved money in order to buy a house.(= She saved money in order that she would buy a house.)(她存钱是为了买房子。)
两者都表目的,但 "so as to" 不能用于句首(只能放在句中),而 "in order to" 可用于句首或句中。
正确:In order to lose weight, she goes jogging every morning.(√)
错误:So as to lose weight, she goes jogging every morning.(×)
正确:She goes jogging every morning so as to lose weight.(√)
含义:为了;以便
结构:in order to + 动词原形
位置:句首(强调目的,后接逗号)或句中
否定:in order not to + 动词原形
注意:若需接从句,用 "in order that";若需更简洁,句中可用 "to" 代替 "in order to"(但 "in order to" 更正式、强调目的)。
通过以上用法和例子,相信你能更好地掌握 "in order to" 的使用场景~
