    purpose or aim?用 purpose 还是 aim？Your purpose for doing something is your reason for doing it; your aim is what you want to achieve. Aim can suggest that you are only trying to achieve something; purpose gives a stronger sense of achievement being certain. Aim can be somebody’s aim or the aim of something. Purpose is more usually the purpose of something: you can talk about somebody’s purpose but that is more formal.
    • intention what you intend to do:
      • I have no intention of going to the wedding.我无意去参加婚礼。
      • She’s full of good intentions but they rarely work out.她虽然处处出于善意，却很少行的通。

      • What’s the idea behind this?这背后的意图是什么？
    point or idea?用 point 还是 idea？Point is a more negative word than idea. If you say What’s the point…? you are suggesting that there is no point; if you say What’s the idea…? you are genuinely asking a question. Point, but not idea, is used to talk about things you feel annoyed or unhappy about: There’s no idea in… • I don’t see the idea of…. Patterns
