in order that:连词短语,表示目的,相当于 “为了……;以便……”(较正式、书面语),后面常接从句,常与 can/could, may/might, will/would, should 等情态动词连用。(口语中更常用 so that)
/ɪn ˈɔːrdər ðæt/
Please speak slowly in order that everyone can understand.
请说慢一点,以便大家都能听懂。
The documents were rewritten in order that the policy might be applied fairly across all regions.
这些文件被重新撰写,以便该政策能在所有地区得到公平实施。
该短语由 in order(“按顺序;处于合适状态/安排之中”)发展出“为达成某个安排/目的”的含义,再加上 that 引导目的从句,形成表示“为了……以便……”的结构。order 源自拉丁语 ordo(“排列、秩序”)。
