4、的目的状语从句,若其主语与主句主语不同而用不定式改写,可用介词for来引出不定式的逻辑主语。如:I stood aside so that she might Pass.=I stood aside for her to pass.我站在一边,让她过去。三、用“for fear(that)十从句”表示。For fear的意思是“惟恐”、“以免”。从句谓语既可用、should/might+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气,也可用陈述语气。若主、从句主语相同,该句式可简化为,forfear of+名词或动名词”的形式。如:She doesnt let her child go out alone for
