为了提高参加AEAS考试的同学的英语水平，澳大利亚初中入学考试网特别为同学们带来一些考试技巧。这次介绍的是英语中常见的几种目的状语（下）。

三、用in order to do sth表目的

in order to do sth也是to do sth的变体。用in order to do sth表示目的时，它既可以用于句末，也可用于句首，但比较而言，用于句首时，其强调意味较浓。如：

She lied about her age in order to get the job. 她为了谋得那份工作隐瞒了年龄。

She arrived early in order to get a good seat. 她到得很早，图的是得个好座位。

Teamwork is required in order to achieve these aims. 完成这些目标需要团队合作。

In order to get the job you must be able to drive. 要做这项工作你得会开车。

In order to get into a good school， I must study even harder. 为了考入一个好的学校，我必须更加用功。

in order to do sth的否定式是in order not to do sth，意思是“为了不……”“以免”。如：

She slept in a separate room in order not to disturb him. 她在另一房间睡觉，为了不至打扰他。

Please reply at once in order not to lose this opportunity of a lower price. 请立即回复，以免失去这次低价的机会。

They must have worn gloves in order not to leave any fingerprints. 他们一定戴上了手套，以防留下指纹。

注意，in order to do sth 还有另外一个否定形式，那就是 not in order to do sth，其意为“不是为了……”。如：

Big farmers are moving in， not in order to farm， but in order to speculate with rising land prices. 大农场主正在不断涌进来，不是为了耕作，而是要利用不断上涨的地价进行投机。

This expression refers to encounters between ships of hostile nations. One ship might fire a shot at another， not in order to hit it， but to warn it to move. 这个表达源于敌对国船只在海上相遇时，一方可能向另一方鸣炮，不是为了击中目标，而是警告其快速离开。

四、用so that表目的

so as to和so that均可表示目的，两者的区别是，前者引出不定式，后者用以引导目的状语从句。与用so as to do sth表示目的的情形相似，so that引导的目的状语从句通常位于主句之后。如：

I will give him a key so that he can get into the house whenever he likes. 我会给他一把钥匙，好让他能随时进来。

I got here early so that we could have a few minutes alone together. 我到这儿早些是为了我们能单独在一起待几分钟。

They wrote the notices in several languages so that foreign tourists could understand them. 他们把通知用几国文字写出来，以便让各国游客都能看得懂。

有时可省略其中的that。如：

Leave the keys out so (that) I remember to take them with me. 把钥匙放在外面，好让我记得带。

I deliberately didn’t have lunch so (that) I would be hungry tonight. 我有意没吃午饭，为的就是让自己今晚能感到饿。

so that 引导的目的状语从句有时还可置于主句之前（但是，若so that引导的从句是表示结果，则不可放在句首）。如：

So that I shouldn’t worry， he phoned me on arrival. 为了不让我担心，他一到就给我打了电话。

So that I shouldn’t forget it， I made a knot in my handkerchief. 为了免得忘记，我将手帕打了一个结。

So that the coming generation can learn the martial arts， he has recently devoted much time to writing books on the subject. 为了下一代能够学会这些武术，他近来花了许多时间著书立说。
