词组 so as to
释义 so as to
      Because the so as of so as to is omissible in some contexts ("We left early [so as] to beat the traffic"), it has sometimes been called redundant (as in Copperud 1970, 1980). On the other hand, Longman 1984 and Freeman 1983 suggest so as to as a possible replacement for conjunctive so. Where the critics are at odds in this way, you must follow your ear. If a sentence sounds better to you without so as, omit it; if it sounds better with so as, keep it. And note that some contexts positively require so as or an equivalent like in order:
      ... he carefully slipped off his shoes before climbing atop a university police car so as not to damage campus property —Richard Stengel, Time, 15 Oct. 1984
