我们先看看什么是目的状语:
He went quietly into the classroom not to awake the children.
他悄悄地走进去,以免不吵醒孩子们。
上句中,not to awake the children 就是个目的状语,只不过是个不定时短语,算不上从句。如果把这个句子稍作改动,变成主语谓语都具备的结构,就是个状语从句:
He went quietly into the classroom in orderthat he wouldn"t awake the children.
目的状语从句的结构往往是:so that..., in order that... ,这些从句一般都可以用不定式 to do 或者in order to do 来替换。
Let"s start early so thatwe could get a good seat.
=Let"s start early to geta good seat.
我们早点出发,以便抢个好座。
They started earlyin order that they could get a good seat.
=They started early in order to get a good seat.
我们很在就出发了,以便能抢个好座。
我们发现,目的状语从句一般在句末,但是,有时候为了强调这个目的,也可以放在句首:
In order thathe could meet her on time, he took a taxi to the airport instead of a bus.
为了准点接到她,他打的去的机场,没有坐公交。
在目的状语从句中,常常出现情态动词:can,could,may,might 等,因为 目的状语从句中常常含有“以便能......、为了可以......”这样的意思。如:
He hurried to the ticket office so that he could get a ticket.
他匆匆赶往售票处,以便能买到票。
为啥我们都说 Merry Christmas,唯有女王说 Happy Christmas?
