aim to 与aim at 的区别
就“aim”这个词本身来讲,有两种词性,一种是动词“瞄准,对准,打算”等之意,另一种是名词“瞄准,目标,目的,意图”等之意。就短语来说,
“aim
to”是动词短语,“立志要做某事,打算做某事”等之意,后接动词原形,
而“aim
at”也是一个动词短语,“瞄准,以……为目标,针对,追求”等意,其后主要接名词、代词、动名词。例如:
Tom\'s son aims to be a famous writer.
汤姆的儿子立志要成为一名著名的作家。
He
is aiming at the target carefully. 他正认真地瞄准目标。
1. aim at 瞄准,针对。如:
He aimed (his gun) at the target, fired and missed
it. 他(用枪)瞄准目标开火,却未打中。
When the teacher said that there was a lazy boy in
the class, he
was aiming at John. 当老师说班上有个不用功的孩子时,他是针对约翰说的。
注:有时其后也接介词 for, 表示希望达到某个目标。如:
We should aim for the best results.
我们要力争获得最好的结果。
2. aim to do sth 想要做某事,立志要做某事。如:
She aimed to please her boss.
她想要讨好她的老板。
We aim to solve the problem.
我们力求要解决这个问题。
注:有时可与 aim at doing sth 互换。如:
He aims to be [at being] a writer.
他立志要当作家。
aim的用法说明
1. 不管用作名词还是动词,其后均常接介词 at。如。如:
He aimed hisgun at the bird, but did not fire.
他用枪瞄准鸟,但没开枪。
He took aim at the bird, but missed.
他向鸟瞄准,但没射中。
When the teacher said that there was a lazy boy in
the class, he was aiming at John.
当老师说班上有个不用功的孩子时,他是针对约翰说的。
The book aims at giving a general outline ofthis
subject. 这本书的目的是要对这个问题作个大概描述。
有时其后也接介词 for, 表示希望达到某个目标。如。如:
We should aimfor the best results.
我们要力争获得最好的结果。
The factorymust aim at increased [increasing]
production. = The factorymust aim for an increase in production.
工厂必须力求增产。
2. 其后接不定式,表示“想要做某事” (有时可与aim at
doing互换)。如。如:
He aims to become (=at becoming) a computer expert.
他想成为计算机专家。
3.
用作名词,表示“目的”、“目标”等,是可数名词;表示“瞄准”,是不可数名词。如:
John has only one aim in life --- to be
amillionaire. 约翰的人生只有一个目标,就是成为百万富翁。
Takecareful aim at the target. 仔细瞄准。
4. “实现目标”在英语中要用动词 achieve, 一般不用
reach。如:
Everybody should be given the chance to achieve
their aims. 要让每个人都有机会实现自己的目标。
