Question

15．為了不落后，她下定決心嚴(yán)格要求自己．
In order not to fall behind，she made up her mind to be strict with herself．

Answer 1

分析 In order not to fall behind，she made up her mind to be strict with herself．

解答 答案：In order not to fall behind，she made up her mind to be strict with herself．這里表達的是過去的事情用一般過去時，為了…用in order（not） to do sth做目的狀語，落后fall behind，故In order not to fall behind，主語she，下決心做某事make up one's mind to do sth，make的過去式made，故she made up her mind to，嚴(yán)格要求be strict with sb，herself自己，故答案是In order not to fall behind，she made up her mind to be strict with herself．

點評 in order to 意為"為了…"，表示目的；在用法和意義上相當(dāng)于so as to結(jié)構(gòu)，但是in order to結(jié)構(gòu)可以用于句首、句中，而so as to多用于句中．其否定式分別為：in order not to 和so as not to．
[拓展]in order to和so as to在句中表示目的時，常可以轉(zhuǎn)化成in order that或so that引導(dǎo)的目的狀語從句．如：We should work hard in order to/so as to pass the exam．→We should work hard in order that/so that we can pass the exam．為了能通過考試，我們應(yīng)該努力學(xué)習(xí)．
