这儿的SO AS NOT TO为何能放在句首?什么意思?

Question

具体的句子是这样的: So as not to appear rude ,she went along.

Answer 1

这里的so as not to 有点相当于表目的的to .以免。。。例 ：To make a living, I have to work 这样表目的的句子实际也是一种倒装句 ＝I have to work to make a living 而上句＝She went along so as not to appear rude。

Answer 2

so as to do sth.意为"以便做某事"，在句中作目的状语为了不出现情况 他走向孤独

Answer 3

这是介词短语，可以引导句子。它的意思是‘为了不’。

Answer 4

为了不。。。。。
