n.名词
purpose, aim, goal这组词的共同含义是“目的”,常通用,如aim〔goal,purpose〕 in life人生目标。它们之间的区别主要在于: 1.goal指比较宏大的总目标; purpose指近期比较确定的意图; aim指短期内比较具体、实际的目标。例如: He often asked himself what his goal in life should be.他常常自问人生的目标该是什么。
Do you come here for the purpose of seeing your family or for business purpose?你来此地是为了看家还是为了做生意?
Their aim was to take over industry for her.他们的目标是为她接管产业。再如下面把aim和goal用在同一个句子里,其区别就更明显易见了： His aim was to pass his examinations this year and go to college so he could eventually reach his goal of being a teacher.他的目标是今年考上大学,以便最终实现当教师的抱负。2.purpose强调“有意去做”行动坚决; aim强调“集中精力去做”联想“瞄准”。在努力程度上, aim比purpose要弱。例如: I am afraid he did it on purpose.我担心他是有意这么做的。
His only aim in life is to make a fortune.他生活的唯一目标是赚钱发财。3.goal具有理想性,并不强调最后一定要实现; purpose和aim则暗示能够实现,这在动词aim for中体现最明显。例如: The presidency was the goal of his ambition.他的奋斗目标是当总统。
His aim is to become a doctor.他的目标是当一个医生。4.purpose可以由他人来完成; 而goal则往往靠自己去努力。例如: The purpose of a tutorial system was to let each student realize his own educational goal.导师制旨在让学生认清自己的学习目标。5.aim不如goal和purpose生动。 purpose, object, objective这三个词均可表示“目标”“目的”。其区别在于:object常指基于个人决心的目标,常较抽象; objective常指具体的、直接的或很快可以达到的目标,为正式用语; purpose为普通用词,既可指人们期望出现的结果,也可指为此进行的活动过程。例如: He has a definite object in life.他对人生有明确的目标。
My objective this summer is learning to swim.我今年夏天的目标是学会游泳。
The purpose was to halt the rise in the exchange rate of the Swiss franc.目的在于制止瑞士法郎兑换率上涨。aim，goal，purpose，end，target，object，objective这些名词均有“目标、目的”之意。 aim从本义“靶子”引申而来，侧重比较具体而明确的目标，但常指短期目标。 goal指经过考虑和选择，需经坚持不懈的努力奋斗才能达到的最终目标。 purpose普通用词，既指以坚决、审慎的行动去达到的目的，又指心中渴望要实现的目标。 end指心目中怀着的某种目的，强调结果而非过程。较正式用词。 target指射击的靶，军事攻击目标。引申指被攻击、批评或嘲笑的目标。 object强调个人或需求而决定的目标、目的。 objective与object基本同义，但语义更广泛，指具体或很快能达到的目的，也可指军事目标。书面用词。 13世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的porpos：por 向前） +pos (放），意为放向前。
