achieve:及物动词,意为“实现;取得;完成”,侧重“通过努力获得抽象成果”(如目标、梦想、目的);
one's purpose:“某人的目的/意图”,其中 “one's” 需根据主语替换为形容词性物主代词(my/his/her/their/our等)或名词所有格(如Tom's);“purpose” 指“做某事的缘由或想要达成的结果”(比“goal”更强调“意图”而非“长期目标”)。
1、 主语:通常是人(执行者)或有明确目标的事物(如会议、项目、政策等);
2、 时态:适用于各种时态(现在/过去/将来时等);
3、 常见搭配:
后接“of doing sth”表示“实现做某事的目的”(如:achieve one's purpose of doing sth);
可用于否定句、疑问句(需借助助动词)。

(经过多年练习,她终于实现了成为职业钢琴家的目的。)

accomplish one's purpose:较正式,强调“完成具体任务或目标”(如:accomplish the purpose of the project 完成项目的目标);
fulfill one's purpose:侧重“满足/实现原本的意图”(如:fulfill the purpose of this event 实现这次活动的意图);
achieve one's goal:与“achieve one's purpose”常互换,但“goal”更偏向长期/具体目标(如职业目标),“purpose”更强调“做某事的直接意图”(如“为证明自己而做”)。
不能省略“one's”:“purpose”是“某人的”,需所有格限定(如不能说“achieve purpose”,需说“achieve my/his purpose”);
“achieve”是及物动词:后面直接接“one's purpose”,无需介词(除非purpose后有定语,如“achieve one's purpose of helping others” 实现帮助他人的目的)。
综上,“achieve one's purpose”是日常和正式场合都常用的短语,核心是“通过努力达成意图”,只要明确“谁的目的”(one's)和“目的是什么”(purpose),就能灵活使用~
