尽管长期以来人们已经从不同的角度对动词不定式进行了大量的研究。但是,由于缺乏充分的描写,不定式作状语的有些用法仍可能引起误解。作目的状语的不定式有时往往和它的其它状语功能相混淆。为了弄清这一点,我们将从人们熟知的目的状语入手,将探求它的区别性特征。最权威的《当代英语语法》对表示目的的状语关系仅寥寥数语,对我们将要讨论的另外两种状语甚至未能提及。这是不难理解的,因为这部语法要描写、阐述如此众多的语法问题,不可能做到纤悉无遗,像一部专著那样对目的关系作详尽透彻的研究。
Although a large number of studies have been conducted on infinitives of verbs from a different perspective for a long time. However, some uses of infinitive adverbs can still cause misunderstandings due to a lack of full description. The infinitive of the adverbial purpose is sometimes confused with its other adverbial functions. In order to understand this, we will start with the well-known purpose of the adverbial, we will explore its distinctive features. The most authoritative “contemporary English grammar” has only a few adverbials for the purpose, and two other adverbs that we are going to discuss even fail to mention. This is not difficult to understand because it is impossible to explain so many grammatical problems in this grammar. It is impossible to fully understand the relationship of purpose as a monograph does.
