词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

n.(名词)

purpose的基本意思是“目的,意图”,指某人做某事所要达到的某一特定目标,也可指某一事物在某一活动或另一事物中所起的“作用”,还可指“意志,毅力,决心”。

purpose后可跟介词in,也可跟介词of。当purpose前是物主代词时,后面的介词要用in,而不能用of; 当purpose前是定冠词the时,后面的介词要用of,而不用in。purpose后不可跟介词for。

在for...purposes短语中, purpose一般多用复数形式,表示泛指的“目的”; 在for purpose(s) of短语中, purposes一般表示泛指, purpose表示特指。

v.(动词)

purpose用作动词时意思是“有意,打算”,指在头脑中形成做某一事情的方案,使一切活动都朝着这一方案实施的方向发展。

purpose主要用作及物动词,后接名词、代词、动名词、动词不定式或由that引导的从句作宾语。

n.(名词)

purpose, aim, goal

这组词的共同含义是“目的”,常通用,如aim〔goal,purpose〕 in life人生目标。它们之间的区别主要在于:

1.goal指比较宏大的总目标; purpose指近期比较确定的意图; aim指短期内比较具体、实际的目标。例如:

He often asked himself what his goal in life should be.他常常自问人生的目标该是什么。

Do you come here for the purpose of seeing your family or for business purpose?你来此地是为了看家还是为了做生意?

Their aim was to take over industry for her.他们的目标是为她接管产业。

再如下面把aim和goal用在同一个句子里,其区别就更明显易见了：

His aim was to pass his examinations this year and go to college so he could eventually reach his goal of being a teacher.他的目标是今年考上大学,以便*终实现当教师的抱负。

2.purpose强调“有意去做”(行动坚决); aim强调“集中精力去做”(联想“瞄准”)。在努力程度上, aim比purpose要弱。例如:

I am afraid he did it on purpose.我担心他是有意这么做的。

His only aim in life is to make a fortune.他生活的唯一目标是赚钱发财。

3.goal具有理想性,并不强调*后一定要实现; purpose和aim则暗示能够实现,这在动词aim for中体现*明显。例如:

The presidency was the goal of his ambition.他的奋斗目标是当总统。

His aim is to become a doctor.他的目标是当一个医生。

4.purpose可以由他人来完成; 而goal则往往靠自己去努力。例如:

The purpose of a tutorial system was to let each student realize his own educational goal.导师制旨在让学生认清自己的学习目标。

5.aim不如goal和purpose生动。

n.(名词)

这桌子没有宽到适合我们目的的程度。

误 The table is not sufficiently wide to our purpose.

正 The table is not sufficiently wide for our purpose.

正 The table is not wide enough for our purpose.

析表示“为了…目的”“适合…目的”用介词for。

误 I didn't want to hurt you on the purpose.

正 I didn't want to hurt you on purpose.

析表示“有意,故意”,可以说on purpose, purpose前不带定冠词。

误 This is our purpose of publishing our opinions on this matter.

正 This is our purpose in publishing our opinions on this matter.

误 What's the purpose in his visit?

正 What's the purpose of his visit?

析 purpose of sth 表示“某事的目的”; purpose in v -ing表示“做某事的目的或意图”。

误 What was the purpose for your journey to Guangzhou?

正 What was the purpose of your journey to Guangzhou?

误 His purpose for coming home is to see whether his parents are well.

正 His purpose in coming home is to see whether his parents are well.

析 purpose后不可跟for短语。

☆ 13世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的porpos： por (向前） + pos (放），意为放向前。
