點睛
in order to do sth.意為“為了做某事”,它與表示目的的不定式to do用法相同。如:
In order to maintain physical well being, a person should eat wholesome food and get sufficient exercise. (= To maintain physical well being, a person should eat wholesome food and get sufficient exercise.)為了保持身體健康,一個人應(yīng)該吃有益健康的食品,并經(jīng)常鍛煉身體。
考點歸納
介詞to的用法很多,包括:
表示“相對,針對”,通常用在如下表達中:be strange (common, new, familiar, peculiar, distinct, sensitive, immune, vulnerable, indispensable) to。如:
1) This injection will make you immune to infection. 這一針能使你免受感染。
2) Aircrafts are vulnerable to interference caused by radiation. 飛機易受輻射干擾。
3) Air is indispensable to life. 對于生物來說,空氣是不可缺少的。
表示“對比,比較”,此時介詞to的用法包括:
1)用于以-ior結(jié)尾的形容詞之后,表示比較。如:superior,inferior,prior,senior,junior等。如:
The quarrel happened prior to my arrival. 我到達之前他們就在爭吵了。
2)用于一些本身就含有比較或比擬意思的形容詞之后。如:equal,similar,equivalent,analogous等。如:
This shirt is similar to yours in many ways. 這件襯衫和你的襯衫有諸多相似之處。
3)用于一些表示先后順序的形容詞之后。如:second,subsequent,next,preliminary,preparatory等。如:
Subsequent to the war, they returned to their hometown. 戰(zhàn)后,他們重返家園。
4)介詞to偶爾也出現(xiàn)在個別動詞之后,形成固定短語,表示比較。如:prefer...to...(比起……來更喜歡……),compare to(把……比作),in contrast to(與……完全相反)等。如:
Your mother's work is often compared to a candle. 你母親的工作常被比作蠟燭。
