purpose goal aim三个词都是“目的”的意思，怎么区别？

Question

可以互用吗

Answer 1

有区别
What
is
the
purpose
of
his
visit?
他来访的目的是什么?
purpose是指意图。
It
is
now
our
aim
to
set
up
a
factory.
我们现在的目的是创办一座工厂。
My
goal
in
life
is
to
help
others.
我的人生目标是帮助他人。
goal和aim的分别，我用英文来解释。
Aim
is
often
used
in
the
sense
of
shooting
at
a
target
and
refers
to
the
accuracy
of
the
shot
as
in:
Aim
an
arrow
at
the
board.
Goal
is
very
often
an
abstract
concept
for
something
you
want
to
achieve
and
of
course
it
is
used
in
sports
like
football.
Another
difference
between
goal
and
aim
might
be
that
goal
is
a
noun
whereas
aim
can
be
used
as
a
noun
as
well
as
a
verb.
goal通常比较抽象，aim则比较趋向一个比较specific的目标。
在运动比赛里，我们都用goal.
另外，goal
只能当作名词来用，而aim则可以是名词或动词。
It
is
now
our
aim
to
set
up
a
factory.
（名词）
We
aim
to
set
up
a
factory.
（动词）
