句子中用 sb’s purpose for doing sth 是对的,但更通常是用sb’s purpose in doing sth。即:

正:What is Shen Qi’s main purpose for talking to Amy?

正:What is Shen Qi’s main purpose in talking to Amy?

但是不能用 sb’s purpose of doing sth。即:

误:What is Shen Qi’s main purpose of talking to Amy?

注意:purpose通常的搭配是:

正:the purpose of doing sth(不用in, for

正:one’s purpose in / for doing sthinfor常见,但不用of

sb’s purpose 后面应该接 in doing sth,不接 for doing sth。例如:20116月出版的《朗文当代英语大辞典》新版reason 的用法说明指出:“My purpose in coming is to see the PresidentNOT 不用 of / for coming .... 我来的目的是见总统。

西门正

1) purpose后可跟of doing..., in doing..., for doing...;

2) purpose前是物主代词时,后面要用in doing   for doing,不能用of doing...
