目的狀語是什麼意思
文/陳德永
我們先看看什麼是目的狀語:
He
went
quietly into the classroom
not to awake the children.
他悄悄地走進去,以免不吵醒孩子們。
上句中,not to awake the children 就是個目的狀語,只不過是個不定時短語,算不上從句。如果把這個句子稍作改動,變成主語謂語都具備的結構,就是個狀語從句:
He went quietly into the classroom in order
that he wouldn't awake the children.
目的狀語從句的結構往往是:so that。。。, in order that。。。 ,這些從句一般都可以用不定式 to do 或者in order to do 來替換。
Let‘s start early
so that
we could get a good seat。
=Let’s start early
to get
a good seat。
我們早點出發,以便搶個好座。
They started early
in order that
they could get a good seat。
=They started early
in order to
get a good seat。
我們很在就出發了,以便能搶個好座。
我們發現,目的狀語從句一般在句末,但是,有時候為了強調這個目的,也可以放在句首:
In order that
he could meet her on time, he took a taxi to the airport instead of a bus。
為了準點接到她,他打的去的機場,沒有坐公交。
在目的狀語從句中,常常出現情態動詞:
can,could,may,might
等,因為 目的狀語從句中常常含有“以便能……、為了可以……”這樣的意思。如:
He hurried to the ticket office so that he
can,could,may,might
get a ticket。
他匆匆趕往售票處,以便能買到票。
為啥我們都說 Merry Christmas,唯有女王說 Happy Christmas?
