purpose的詳細講解：

詞語用法

n. (名詞)
  1. purpose的基本意思是“目的,意圖”,指某人做某事所要達到的某一特定目標,也可指某一事物在某一活動或另一事物中所起的“作用”,還可指“意志,毅力,決心”。
  2. purpose后可跟介詞in,也可跟介詞of。當purpose前是物主代詞時,后面的介詞要用in,而不能用of; 當purpose前是定冠詞the時,后面的介詞要用of,而不用in。purpose后不可跟介詞for。
  3. 在for...purposes短語中, purpose一般多用復數形式,表示泛指的“目的”; 在for purpose(s) of短語中, purposes一般表示泛指, purpose表示特指。
v. (動詞)
  1. purpose用作動詞時意思是“有意,打算”,指在頭腦中形成做某一事情的方案,使一切活動都朝著這一方案實施的方向發展。
  2. purpose主要用作及物動詞,后接名詞、代詞、動名詞、動詞不定式或由that引導的從句作賓語。
  1. purpose作名詞指“目的”時，注意在for charitable purposes等詞組中，使用復數形式purposes；
  2. purpose作名詞在for (the) purposes of travel等詞組中也使用復數形式，且定冠詞the通常略去；
  3. purpose前面有物主代詞時，注意后面跟介詞in。

  4. 名詞purpose的三種固定用法：be to the/little/no purpose，do something to some/much/no/little purpose，serve the/my purpose；

詞義辨析

n. (名詞)
purpose, aim, goal
  • 這組詞的共同含義是“目的”,常通用,如aim〔goal,purpose〕 in life人生目標。它們之間的區別主要在于:
  • 1.goal指比較宏大的總目標; purpose指近期比較確定的意圖; aim指短期內比較具體、實際的目標。例如:
  • He often asked himself what his goal in life should be.他常常自問人生的目標該是什么。
  • Do you come here for the purpose of seeing your family or for business purpose?你來此地是為了看家還是為了做生意?
  • Their aim was to take over industry for her.他們的目標是為她接管產業。
  • 再如下面把aim和goal用在同一個句子里,其區別就更明顯易見了：
  • His aim was to pass his examinations this year and go to college so he could eventually reach his goal of being a teacher.他的目標是今年考上大學,以便最終實現當教師的抱負。
  • 2.purpose強調“有意去做”(行動堅決); aim強調“集中精力去做”(聯想“瞄準”)。在努力程度上, aim比purpose要弱。例如:
  • I am afraid he did it on purpose.我擔心他是有意這么做的。
  • His only aim in life is to make a fortune.他生活的唯一目標是賺錢發財。
  • 3.goal具有理想性,并不強調最后一定要實現; purpose和aim則暗示能夠實現,這在動詞aim for中體現最明顯。例如:
  • The presidency was the goal of his ambition.他的奮斗目標是當總統。
  • His aim is to become a doctor.他的目標是當一個醫生。
  • 4.purpose可以由他人來完成; 而goal則往往靠自己去努力。例如:
  • The purpose of a tutorial system was to let each student realize his own educational goal.導師制旨在讓學生認清自己的學習目標。
  • 5.aim不如goal和purpose生動。
    • purpose, object, objective
  • 這三個詞均可表示“目標”“目的”。其區別在于:object常指基于個人決心的目標,常較抽象; objective常指具體的、直接的或很快可以達到的目標,為正式用語; purpose為普通用詞,既可指人們期望出現的結果,也可指為此進行的活動過程。例如:
  • He has a definite object in life.他對人生有明確的目標。
  • My objective this summer is learning to swim.我今年夏天的目標是學會游泳。
  • The purpose was to halt the rise in the exchange rate of the Swiss franc.目的在于制止瑞士法郎兌換率上漲。
    • aim，goal，purpose，end，target，object，objective
  • 這些名詞均有“目標、目的”之意。
  • aim從本義“靶子”引申而來，側重比較具體而明確的目標，但常指短期目標。
  • goal指經過考慮和選擇，需經堅持不懈的努力奮斗才能達到的最終目標。
  • purpose普通用詞，既指以堅決、審慎的行動去達到的目的，又指心中渴望要實現的目標。
  • end指心目中懷著的某種目的，強調結果而非過程。較正式用詞。
  • target指射擊的靶，軍事攻擊目標。引申指被攻擊、批評或嘲笑的目標。
  • object強調個人或需求而決定的目標、目的。
  • objective與object基本同義，但語義更廣泛，指具體或很快能達到的目的，也可指軍事目標。書面用詞。
