问题: in order to

"in order to "有“以便”的意思吗?

解答:

答:"in order to "有“以便”的意思。in order to 接动词不定式,表示目的,意思是以便、为了……。意思类似的还有so that ,so as to ,for 等。不过,用法不一样几个在用法上有些区别。你还可以直接用不定式,表示目的。请看下例:
I got up early this morning in order to catch the first bus.(in order to 只能用在句中)
I got up early this morning so that catch the first bus.(so that 也只能用在句中 )
so as to catch the first bus ,I got up early this morning.(so as to 可以用在句首 )
I got up early this morning so as to catch the first bus .也(so as to 可以用在句中)
I got up early this morning to catch the first bus.(直接用不定式表示目的)
I got up early this morning for catching the first bus.( for当表目的的介词,后面动词应为现在分词)
