你好吗？你现在无意闯进了《Faith口语课堂-天天学》，我是Faith老师。这里是一个愉快的英语大家庭，先别走开，和我们一起学学英语，再听首英文歌，好吗？

我们的一个学员Jessica最近正在积极减肥，为什么呢？因为她想做一个漂亮的新娘，能穿上漂亮的婚纱。这个“为了……”在英语中如何表达呢？介绍两个表示“为了某个目的”，“以便”，“以至于“的词组：In order to和So that，下面我们分别来讲解：

In order to的用法：在“to“的后面，放动词原形：

Jessica has been on diet for weeks in order to get into that wedding dress. 杰西卡这几个星期都在减肥以便能穿得上那件婚纱。
We started off early in order to arrive before dark. 为了在天黑前到达，我们很早就动身了。

I've been working very hard in order to get a raise. 我一直努力工作以便能涨工资。

In order to make more money, you should focus on your career. 为了挣更多的钱，你应该专注在你的事业上。

In order not to be late, she cut across the fields. 为了不迟到，她抄近路穿过田野。

So that的用法：在“that“后面放一个从句：

Bring it closer so that I may see it better. 把它拿近点儿，让我看看仔细。

I stay on so that he may not feel lonely. 我留下来以使他可能不会再感到孤独。

Come to class earlier so that you won't miss anything. 早点来上课，就不会漏掉课堂上的内容了。
