n.(名詞)

purpose的基本意思是“目的,意圖”,指某人做某事所要達(dá)到的某一特定目標(biāo),也可指某一事物在某一活動(dòng)或另一事物中所起的“作用”,還可指“意志,毅力,決心”。

purpose后可跟介詞in,也可跟介詞of。當(dāng)purpose前是物主代詞時(shí),后面的介詞要用in,而不能用of; 當(dāng)purpose前是定冠詞the時(shí),后面的介詞要用of,而不用in。purpose后不可跟介詞for。

在for...purposes短語(yǔ)中, purpose一般多用復(fù)數(shù)形式,表示泛指的“目的”; 在for purpose(s) of短語(yǔ)中, purposes一般表示泛指, purpose表示特指。

v.(動(dòng)詞)

purpose用作動(dòng)詞時(shí)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(dòng)都朝著這一方案實(shí)施的方向發(fā)展。

purpose主要用作及物動(dòng)詞,后接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)名詞、動(dòng)詞不定式或由that引導(dǎo)的從句作賓語(yǔ)。

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(biāo)。它們之間的區(qū)別主要在于:

1.goal指比較宏大的總目標(biāo); purpose指近期比較確定的意圖; aim指短期內(nèi)比較具體、實(shí)際的目標(biāo)。例如:

He often asked himself what his goal in life should be.他常常自問(wèn)人生的目標(biāo)該是什么。

Do you come here for the purpose of seeing your family or for business purpose?你來(lái)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(biāo)是為她接管產(chǎn)業(yè)。

再如下面把a(bǔ)im和goal用在同一個(gè)句子里,其區(qū)別就更明顯易見(jiàn)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(biāo)是今年考上大學(xué),以便最終實(shí)現(xiàn)當(dāng)教師的抱負(fù)。

2.purpose強(qiáng)調(diào)“有意去做”(行動(dòng)堅(jiān)決); aim強(qiáng)調(diào)“集中精力去做”(聯(lián)想“瞄準(zhǔn)”)。在努力程度上, aim比purpose要弱。例如:

I am afraid he did it on purpose.我擔(dān)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(biāo)是賺錢發(fā)財(cái)。

3.goal具有理想性,并不強(qiáng)調(diào)最后一定要實(shí)現(xiàn); purpose和aim則暗示能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn),這在動(dòng)詞aim for中體現(xiàn)最明顯。例如:

The presidency was the goal of his ambition.他的奮斗目標(biāo)是當(dāng)總統(tǒng)。

His aim is to become a doctor.他的目標(biāo)是當(dāng)一個(gè)醫(yī)生。

4.purpose可以由他人來(lái)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(dǎo)師制旨在讓學(xué)生認(rèn)清自己的學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)。

5.aim不如goal和purpose生動(dòng)。
