考点三十九 目的状语从句

英语里可以用to，in order to，so as to，so that，in order that来表示目的。 1. to，in order to，so as to引导目的状语短语，构成简单句。 He has to earn lots of money in order to/to/so as to raise his family. 他赚很多钱是为了养家糊口。

2. so that，in order that引导目的状语从句，构成复合句，并且从句中谓语动词常与can，could，may，might等情态动词连用。

Speak clearly so that/in order to everybody can understand you. 请说清楚一点，这样每个人都能听得懂。

目的状语从句 such...that...

so that 结果状语从句

so...that... 结果状语从句 3. so that

so that既可以引导目的状语从句又可以引导结果状语从句。引导目的状语从句时译为＂为了＂，引导结果状语从句时可译为＂以便＂。

He workedn hard at his lessons so that he could gain high grades in the exams. 他努力学习功课，争取考试能获得好的成绩。

He workedn hard at his lessons, so that he gained high grades in the exams. 他努力学习，结果考试取得了好成绩。

so that引导目的状语从句时，表示＂以便，为了＂，从句中常使用can，could，may，might，will，would，should等情态动词或助动词；引导结果状语从句时，从句中一般不用can和may等词。

He has to earn so lots of muney so that he can buy his children nice food and clothes. 他必须赚很多钱才能给他的孩子提供好的饮食和衣服。 4. such...that...

在such...that...句型中，such修饰名词，意思是＂如此……以至于……＂，such...that...引导四种不同的

句子结构。

（1）such+a(n)+形容词+单数名词+that从句

This is such a good book that all of us like it very much. 这是一本很好的书，我们大家都喜欢读它。学&科网 （2）such+形容词+复数名词+that从句

They are such good students that the teacher likes them. 他们都是很好的学生，老师喜欢他们。 （3）such+（形容词）+不可数名词+that从句

It was such fime weather yesterday that we went swimming. 昨天天气很好，我们去游泳了。

（4）one（no，any，all，many，some，several等）+such+可数名词+that从句 There are many such good books that I can’t decide which one to choose. 有这么多的好书，我无法决定选择哪一本。 5. so...that...

so...that...句型中的so是副词，常用来修饰形容词或副词，意思是＂如此/这么……以至于……＂。 （1）常用句型：主语+谓语+so+adj./adv.+that从句 The boy ran so fast that I couldn’t catch him. 这个男孩跑得太快了以至于我追不上他。 （2）so+形容词+ a(n)+单数名词+that从句 She made so good a meal that we all ate far too much. 她做的饭菜那么好吃，结果我们都吃得太多了。 （3）so+many/much few/little（少）+名词+that从句

当名词前有many、much、few、little（少）等词修饰时，句子中要用so...that...而不能用such...that...。 There was so little water in the jar that it was not enough for all of us. 缸里的水太少了，不够我们这些人用。

注意：当little的意思是＂小＂时，仍用such...that...。 6. 用in order that引导：in order that的意思是＂为了＂。 He is working hard in order to pass the examination.

=He is working hard in order that he can pass the examination.

7. 用in case引导：in case此时的意思是＂以防＂＂以备＂。 I always keep a bottle of wine by in case friends call round. 我平时总存着一瓶酒以备朋友来时喝。

注意：in case引导目的状语从句与引导条件状语从句时的意思不一样。

8. 在目的状语从句中也有这样一个引导词——in order that，容易与它混淆的词组是in order to，后者并不能引导状语从句。下面看一下两者有哪些具体差别。

首先要注意的是，in order that与in order to译文相同，都译作＂为了……＂，不同之处在于：in order that+从句；in order to+动词原形。

in order that+从句构成目的状语从句，表明主句行为目的；in order to+动词原形构成目的状语，不成从句。

I get up early in order that I can catch the early bus. I get up early in order to catch the early bus. 为了能赶上早班车，我很早就起床了。

He works hard in order that he can obtain a higher position. He works hard in order to obtain a higher position. 为了升职，他很努力地工作。 另外，目的状语从句还有一个特点：

由于目的都是未来的行为，所以从句中一般用表示未来可能性时态，当然还可以用will，would，can等。

He studies English very hard in order that he will go abroad one day. 为了将来有一天能够出国，他很努力地学习英语。

in order that与in order to只是结构相似，含义相同，但两者用法却有较大差异，不能够互换使用，因为后者不能引导目的状语从句，只能跟动词原形构成目的状语。
