4 for sb to do sth 的用法疑问

So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise.

请问句中的 So for them to move to Elkhead 是什么用法?

附上下文语境:

In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N. Y.—Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to SmithCollege. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter.

句子分析:

1. 句首的 so 表因果关系,意思是“所以”。

2. Elkhead, Colo是地名,意思是“科罗拉多州的埃尔克海德”,

3. move 后面的结构是:move to a place to do sth,所以 for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children 的意思就是:她们搬到科罗拉多州的埃尔克海德教孩子们。

4. 句中的whose用于引导定语从句,修饰children

5. was 是系动词,其后的a surprise是表语。

全句的基本结构是:For sb to do sth was a surprise.
