【英语语法】目的状语从句讲解，英语培训学校编辑和大家分享目的状语从句讲解有关用法和例句，请阅读下文。

1.目的状语从句通常用in order that和so that来引导，此时的从句中往往含有情态动词。

例如：

It's best to be as short，clear and factual as possible，in order that there may be no misunderstanding.

【译文】为了避免出现误解，最好尽可能的简短、清晰和实事求是。

She said she wanted tea ready at six so that she could be out by eight.

【译文】她说为了八点钟出门，她想让茶点在六点钟准备好。

注：so that也可引导结果状语从句，此时后面的从句不存在情态动词；另外，分开写时的 so...that...也表示...结果。 

例如：

He is so selfish that his teachers and classmates dislike him intensely.

【译文】他很自私，老师和同学都极不喜欢他。

注：目的状语还可以用不定式短语，如in order to do或so as to do来引导（仅是不定式短语，非从句形式）。

例如：

They had to take some of his land in order to extend the churchyard.

【译文】为了扩大教堂墓地，他们必须占用他的一些土地。

They were shoving each other out of the way so as to get to the front.

【译文】为了挤到前面，他们彼此不断相互推搡。

They have tried to limit such imports in order to protect their members jobs.

【译文】为了保护他们成员的工作，他们一直努力限制这些物品的进口。

注：表示否定的目的状语时，以用in order not to do或so as not to do。

例如：

Rose trod with care in order not to spread the dirt.

【译文】为了不把泥土弄得到处都是，Rose走路时小心翼翼。

We keep the window shut in order nof to let the flies in.

【译文】为了不让苍蝇飞进来，我们一直关着窗户。

2. in case that、for fear that和lest都表示以防之意，表示一种否定性的目的。

例如：

The foreign teacher spoke slowly in case (that)we misunderstood him.

【译文】这位外籍教师讲话很慢，以防我们误解他的意思。

Sam had consented to take an overcoat in case (that)the wind rose.

【译文】由于担心起风，Sam同意带一件外套。
