What's the difference between "to do" and "for doing" in a sentence expressing a purpose?
I want to add a bit.
Cherry gave two examples:
"She has to go home to do the housework".
"She has to go home for doing the housework".
These really do not have the same meaning.An English speaker would use the first construction only for this sentence.You will not hear an English speaker say the second.Here is why...
The first will be understood to mean "She has to go home IN ORDER TO DO the housework;" or,"She has to go home BECAUSE SHE NEEDS TO DO the housework." And this is,in fact,what we mean.
The second will be understood to mean "She has to go home AS A CONSEQUENCE FOR DOING the housework;" or,"She DID THE HOUSEWORK,AND SO she had to go home." And this doesn't make sense.
Look at it in another set of examples.Any verb may be substituted for "do":
"to X" (to sleep,to love,to give,etc.)
"for X-ing" (for sleeping,for loving,for giving,etc.)
1.He was sent home early from school TO SLEEP.
2.He was sent home early from school FOR SLEEPING.
The first means the teacher sent the student home IN ORDER TO sleep.He looked tired,and the teachers were merciful.They suggested that he go home FOR THE PURPOSE OF sleep.
In the second,the teacher sent the student home BECAUSE HE SLEPT in class.Going home was a CONSEQUENCE for sleeping when he should have stayed awake.
The only time these are interchangeable is when one of the following is true:
1.The meaning of "in order to" and "as a consequence for" will mean the same thing:
Ex.A:"He was paid $1000 TO BUILD the wall."
Ex.B:"He was paid $1000 FOR BUILDING the wall."
And,even here,be careful.The first (as Cherry pointed out) means he was paid BEFORE the work was done.The second means he was paid AFTER the work was done.
2.The meaning is about the INTENDED PURPOSE or SUGGESTED PURPOSE of an item (or person):
Ex.A:"A hammer can be used TO REMOVE nails."
Ex.B:"A hammer can be used FOR REMOVING nails."
Here,the meanings are quite the same.
但是我真的很需要这个答案。能否有人帮一帮我。
英语翻译What's the difference between
在一个表达目的的句子里,“to do” 和 “for doing” 之间有什么分别呢? 我进一步说明. 绮丽给了我两个例子. "She has to go home to do the housework".
"She has to go home for doing the housework".
这两个句子真的带有不同的意思.一位会说正确英语的人会只使用第一个句子结构来表达这句子.你绝不会听见他说第二个句子.这是原因.
第一个句子会被理解为”她为了做家务,她必须回家“. 或 “她必须回家,因为她必须做家务.” 这其实就是我们所要表达的.
第二个句子会被理解为”作为她做家务的后果,她必须回家.“ 或 ”她做了家务,因此她必须回家.“ 这并不合理,也毫无意义. 用另外一个例子来看看它们的区别.任何一个动词都可被用来代替”do“. "to X" (to sleep, to love, to give, etc.)
"for X-ing" (for sleeping, for loving, for giving, etc.)

1. He was sent home early from school TO SLEEP.
2. He was sent home early from school FOR SLEEPING. 第一个句子表示老师把学生送回家好让那位学生睡觉.他看起来很疲惫,老师也很仁慈.他们建议让他回家好让他睡觉. 在第二个句子里,老师把学生送回家,因为那位学生在课室里睡觉了.当他该醒着时,他却睡着了.因此回家是那位学生在课堂上睡觉的后果. ”to do“和”for doing“可交替的唯一时候,是当以下的其中一项是对的时候: "in order to"(为了.)和"as a consequence for"(作为.的后果)将会有同样的意思:
Ex. A: "He was paid $1000 TO BUILD the wall."
Ex. B: "He was paid $1000 FOR BUILDING the wall." 还有,在这里,要小心.第一个句子(像绮丽指出的一样)的意思是他在工作还没完成前就已经被支付了.第二个句子的意思则是他在工作完成后才被支付.
2. 意思是关于一样东西(或人)早已有所打算的目的或被他人所建议的目的:
Ex. A: "A hammer can be used TO REMOVE nails."
Ex. B: "A hammer can be used FOR REMOVING nails."(铁锤能被用来将铁钉拔除.)
在这里,两者的意思都差不多.
