in order to和to的区别为:读音不同、含义不同、用法不同。

2.to

二、含义不同
1.in order to
释义:为了,以便,目的在于。
2.to
释义:prep.向,朝,往,对着(某方向或某处)。
三、用法不同
1.in order to
用法:可以位于句首也可位于句中。
例句:In order to ensure success we must have a complete and thorough plan.
译文:为了保证成功,我们必须要有一个周密的计划。
2.to
用法:to不能位于句首。
例句:Two friends and I drove to Florida during college spring break.
译文:我和两个朋友在大学春假期间开车去了佛罗里达。
in order to和to的区别实质是in order to do 和to do 的区别,二者都表示目的,但前者更强调。例如:
1. To be successful, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should begin within one to four minutes after a cardiac arrest.
2. In order to protect the public, by law only a qualified physician can prescribe medicine.
不定式 to do sth. 可以用作目的状语或结果状语以及形容词后的原因状语,相当于 in order to do sth.、so ... as to do sth. 和“be + 形容词 + to do sth. ”,而 in order to do sth. 只能表示目的,不能代表 to 的全部功能。例如:
The element is electrically insulated make it safe (=The element is electrically insulated in order to make it safe). 为安全起见,该元件作了电绝缘处理。
He worked very hard to have made such a great progress (He worked so hard as to have made such a great progress). 他学习非常努力,以至于取到了如此巨大的进步。
I am glad to meet you (=Iam glad, becauseI meet you). 很高兴见到你。
