英語の定義

• prep. The preposition to primarily indicates approach and arrival,
• motion made in the direction of a place or thing and attaining it,
• access; and also, motion or tendency without arrival; movement toward;
• -- opposed to from.
• prep. Hence, it indicates motion, course, or tendency toward a
• time, a state or condition, an aim, or anything capable of being
• regarded as a limit to a tendency, movement, or action; as, he is going
• to a trade; he is rising to wealth and honor.
• prep. In a very general way, and with innumerable varieties of
• application, to connects transitive verbs with their remoter or
• indirect object, and adjectives, nouns, and neuter or passive verbs
• with a following noun which limits their action. Its sphere verges upon
• that of for, but it contains less the idea of design or appropriation;
• as, these remarks were addressed to a large audience; let us keep this
• seat to ourselves; a substance sweet to the taste; an event painful to
• the mind; duty to God and to our parents; a dislike to spirituous
• liquor.
• prep. As sign of the infinitive, to had originally the use of last
• defined, governing the infinitive as a verbal noun, and connecting it
• as indirect object with a preceding verb or adjective; thus, ready to
• go, i.e., ready unto going; good to eat, i.e., good for eating; I do my
• utmost to lead my life pleasantly. But it has come to be the almost
• constant prefix to the infinitive, even in situations where it has no
• prepositional meaning, as where the infinitive is direct object or
• subject; thus, I love to learn, i.e., I love learning; to die for one's
• country is noble, i.e., the dying for one's country. Where the
• infinitive denotes the design or purpose, good usage formerly allowed
• the prefixing of for to the to; as, what went ye out for see? (Matt.
• xi. 8).
• prep. In many phrases, and in connection with many other words, to
• has a pregnant meaning, or is used elliptically.
• prep. Extent; limit; degree of comprehension; inclusion as far as;
• as, they met us to the number of three hundred.
• prep. Effect; end; consequence; as, the prince was flattered to
• his ruin; he engaged in a war to his cost; violent factions exist to
• the prejudice of the state.
• prep. Apposition; connection; antithesis; opposition; as, they
• engaged hand to hand.
• prep. Accord; adaptation; as, an occupation to his taste; she has
• a husband to her mind.
• prep. Comparison; as, three is to nine as nine is to twenty-seven;
• it is ten to one that you will offend him.
• prep. Addition; union; accumulation.
• prep. Accompaniment; as, she sang to his guitar; they danced to
• the music of a piano.
• prep. Character; condition of being; purpose subserved or office
• filled.
