这里的现在分词短语不是目的状语（除了类似 go fishing 这类结构外，现在分词一般不用作目的状语），可以理解为同位语，用于补充说明 website page 的作用。

句子翻译：

她创建了一个网页，让那些需要帮助的幸存者与那些愿意提供帮助的捐赠者方便联系。

She created a website page , matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help.

【参考译文】

她创建了一个网页, 用以联系( 即匹配) 有需求的幸存者和想帮助他人的捐赠者。

【参考解析】

从所附全文意义及译文来看，分析为目的状语更符合句子的本质。赵振才教授在其大作

《初高中英语考点难点详解词典》学生教师版 p739 专门讲述了现在分词作目的状语，并且明确指出这种情况在美国英语里尤其常见。下面引述该词典中的两个例句加以说明：

1.The six blind men stood there begging for a meal.（ begging for a meal = in order to beg for a meal）六位乞丐站在那儿讨饭。

2.I bound the base of the tree with sticky tape, making it possible for the ants to reach the aphids. （, making it possible = in order to make it possible）我用胶带把树干底部捆扎起来，使蚂蚁不能到达那里。

很显然She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. (,matching = in order to match)

张老师，我赞同您把此问题的句子分析为目的状语，但有一点不明白，请教：

您给出的第二个句子。译文“使蚂蚁不能到达那里”与原文“making it possible for the ants to reach the aphids”似乎不符，原文没有否定的意思。
