so as to 的正确用法是？跟 in order to 差在哪？

在进入教学前，这里先让你来小试身手一下。现在试着阅读以下的例句，看看你能不能猜出“so as to”的意思呢？

Eddie drank some coffee so as to keep himself awake.

The student studied very hard so as to enter a good college.

💡答案很明显对吧！我想你应该十有八九猜出来“so as to”要表示的就是想要达到后面的目的，所以翻译起来会是“为了…”。

以下提供刚刚的例句翻译：

Eddie drank some coffee so as to keep himself awake. 埃迪喝了一些咖啡以便让自己保持清醒。

The student studied very hard so as to enter a good college. 那位学生为了进入好大学而非常努力读书。

很好👍，你现在已经掌握了“so as to”的意思，接下来就来看看更多关于“so as to”的用法细节吧！

“so as to”的用法与例句

“so as to”的中文意思为“为了、以便”，后面会加上原形动词，表示要去达成某个目的。 “so as to”只会放在句中，且通常前面不会加上逗号。

Peter goes jogging every morning so as to stay healthy. 彼得每天早上会去慢跑以保持身体健康。

Sharon found several part - time jobs so as to save more money. 莎伦为了存更多钱而找了好几份兼职。

Many customers lined up outside the Apple Store so as to get the newest iPhone on its first day of sale. 很多顾客为了能拿到最新的 iPhone 而在开售第一天到苹果商店外面排队。

看完例句之后，我们可以简单归纳这个句型是👉做某件事＋so as to＋达到某个目的

接着，来看看表示否定的用法吧～

如果要表示“为了不要…、以免…”，会用“so as not to…”来表示，“to”后面一样是加上原形动词就好。

来看看例句示范：

Susan avoids sweets and fried food so as not to get fat. 苏珊不吃甜点和油炸食品以免变胖。

He didn’t tell her the truth so as not to hurt her feelings. 他没有对她说出实情以免伤了她。

Amanda set ten alarms so as not to oversleep. 为了不要睡过头，阿曼达设了十个闹钟。

“so as to”和“in order to”一样吗？

“so as to”和“in order to”的意思可以说是一样的，不过“so as to”及“in order to”会比单用“to”来得更正式一点（“to”最常用也最口语），而“so as to”相较于“in order to”会比较常用于书面。

Peter goes jogging every morning so as to stay healthy. = Peter goes jogging every morning in order to stay healthy.

Sharon found several part - time jobs so as to save more money. = Sharon found several part - time jobs in order to save more money.

如果是否定用法，也同样会把“not”放在“to”前面，变成“in order not to…”，例如：

Susan avoids sweets and fried food so as not to get fat. = Susan avoids sweets and fried food in order not to get fat.

He didn’t tell her the truth so as not to hurt her feelings. = He didn’t tell her the truth in order not to hurt her feelings.

而“in order to”与“so as to”最主要的不同就是“in order to”可以放在句首，但是“so as to”不行放句首，否定用法也是如此。

In order to stay healthy, Peter goes jogging every morning. ⭕️

彼得每天早上去慢跑以保持身体健康。
