译文
为了方便大家,该部门计划在居住区建立一些移动商店。点睛
in order to do sth.意为“为了做某事”,它与表示目的的不定式to do用法相同。如:In order to maintain physical well being, a person should eat wholesome food and get sufficient exercise. (= To maintain physical well being, a person should eat wholesome food and get sufficient exercise.)为了保持身体健康,一个人应该吃有益健康的食品,并经常锻炼身体。
考点归纳
介词to的用法很多,包括:表示“相对,针对”,通常用在如下表达中:be strange (common, new, familiar, peculiar, distinct, sensitive, immune, vulnerable, indispensable) to。如:
1) This injection will make you immune to infection. 这一针能使你免受感染。
2) Aircrafts are vulnerable to interference caused by radiation. 飞机易受辐射干扰。
3) Air is indispensable to life. 对于生物来说,空气是不可缺少的。
表示“对比,比较”,此时介词to的用法包括:
1)用于以-ior结尾的形容词之后,表示比较。如:superior,inferior,prior,senior,junior等。如:
The quarrel happened prior to my arrival. 我到达之前他们就在争吵了。
2)用于一些本身就含有比较或比拟意思的形容词之后。如:equal,similar,equivalent,analogous等。如:
This shirt is similar to yours in many ways. 这件衬衫和你的衬衫有诸多相似之处。
3)用于一些表示先后顺序的形容词之后。如:second,subsequent,next,preliminary,preparatory等。如:
Subsequent to the war, they returned to their hometown. 战后,他们重返家园。
4)介词to偶尔也出现在个别动词之后,形成固定短语,表示比较。如:prefer...to...(比起……来更喜欢……),compare to(把……比作),in contrast to(与……完全相反)等。如:
Your mother's work is often compared to a candle. 你母亲的工作常被比作蜡烛。
