用法說明

objective to do vs objective of doing
- "objective to do" 強調的是行動或任務本身，即「為了做某事」的目標。
- "objective of doing" 強調的是某個行為背後的目的或意圖，即「做某事的目標」是什麼。
- 當主詞是「人」或「組織」時，通常使用 "objective to do" 來表達其意圖。
- 當主詞是「事物」或「行動」時，常用 "objective of doing" 來解釋其存在的目的。 EN: Our main objective is to increase market share. 翻譯: 我們的主要目標是提高市場佔有率。
EN:The objective of increasing market share is to ensure long-term profitability.
翻譯:提高市場佔有率的目標是為了確保長期的盈利能力。
總結建議
一般情況下，表達「為了達成某事」的意圖時用 "objective to do"，而解釋「某個行動的目的」時則用 "objective of doing"。

正式書寫注意：在非常正式或學術的書面語中（如研究論文、法律文件），"objective" 作為名詞使用極為常見且精確。然而，在口語或非正式書寫中，人們更常使用 "goal", "aim", 或 "purpose"。在動詞用法上，口語中極少將 "objective" 用作動詞，應使用 "to aim to", "to intend to", 或 "to set an objective" 等表達方式。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Objective"?Which "Objective" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×We need to objective our goals clearly.
✓We need to set/define our objectives clearly.
「objective」作為動詞非常罕見且正式（意為「提出反對」或「使客觀化」），不適用於一般「設定目標」的情境。學習者常誤將其當作「設定目標」的動詞使用。應使用 set, define, establish 等動詞搭配名詞 objectives。
×I objective to the new policy.
✓I object to the new policy.
動詞「object」（反對）與名詞/形容詞「objective」（目標/客觀的）容易混淆。表達「反對」時應使用動詞「object」，其後常接介系詞「to」。
×He objected the proposal during the discussion.
✓He objected to the proposal during the discussion.
動詞「object」為不及物動詞，其後不能直接接受詞。表達「反對某事」時，必須使用「object to something」的結構，介系詞「to」不可省略。
×Try to stay objective when you judge the situation.
✓Try to be objective when you judge the situation.
此處「objective」為形容詞（客觀的），而非動詞。形容詞前應使用連綴動詞（如 be, stay, remain）來構成述語，不可直接將其當作動詞使用。
×She has objective to the idea from the beginning.
✓She has objected to the idea from the beginning.
在完成式（has/have + past participle）中，應使用動詞「object」的過去分詞「objected」，而非原形或形容詞「objective」。
