求教曼哈顿中so as to和for doing的用法

yuanyangxu

在第六版chap9的problem set中，有下面两个例句被标注为错误
Faced with the recurrence of natural disasters, such as floods and wildfires, many state governments have imposed significant taxes on their citizens for raising in advance of the next calamity.

Faced with the recurrence of natural disasters, such as floods and wildfires, many state governments have imposed significant taxes on their citizens so as to raise funds in advance of the next calamity.

就我目前在论坛上翻到的资料来说，for doing 跟 to do 相比，更多表示已经发生的原因，所以第一个句子错。不知道这样的理解对不对啊…

至于第二个句子，不是说so as to要求后面动作的发出者与前面的主语一致嘛，raise funds的主语也是governments啊，为什么不对啊啊啊啊啊

求大神赐教！！！

先跪谢回复！
我看链接里面Ron大神是这么说的
"so as to" is an interesting construction. i don't think that gmac likes it very much -- i've never seen it in an officially correct answer -- but i think the main distinction is that it's used to describe indirect intentions.
for instance, the example above isn't great because you are calling this person directly to invite him, so you should use one of the earlier two versions.

on the other hand, consider the following: Joe bought a gym membership so as to become more attractive to women.
this is what i mean by indirect intention. obviously, the act of buying a gym membership itself is not going to make joe instantly more attractive to women (women do not swoon over a man's gym membership card). instead, there are plenty of implied intermediate steps between "by a gym membership" and "be more attractive"; the use of "so as to" implies that there are such intermediate steps in the process.

once again, this is a very writerly difference. i think it's fun to try to explicate it -- i've definitely never thought about these things consciously before -- but i can guarantee that you will not be tested on this kind of difference.

是不是说放到这个句子中，因为raise funds是直接目的，所以用so as to是不对的？

沒錯

但似乎GMAT不會再so as to跟to 這邊做考點

補充一點, so as to 不能放句首
