二、词义辨析:
aim,goal,purpose,end,target,object,objective
这些名词均有“目标、目的”之意。aim从本义“靶子”引申而来,侧重比较具体而明确的目标,但常指短期目标。goal指经过考虑和选择,需经坚持不懈的努力奋斗才能达到的最终目标。purpose普通用词,既指以坚决、审慎的行动去达到的目的,又指心中渴望要实际的目标。end指心目中怀着的某种目的,强调结果而非过程。较正式用词。target指射击的靶,军事攻击目标。引申指被攻击、批评或潮笑的目标。object强调个人或需求而决定的目标、目的。objective与object基本同义,但语义更广泛,指具体或很快能达到的目的,也可指军事目标。书面用词。
