so as (not) to = in order (not) to =以便 [以免]

但往往so as to 之後接「無意志動詞」，in order to之後接「意志動詞」

We came early so as to "have" plenty of time. = We came early in order to "have" plenty of time.

I got up early so as to "be" in time for the first train. = I got up early in order to "take" the first time.

in order that: 俾便...，為了...

We are sending our representative in order that you may discuss the matter with him.

in order that為文語的說法，白話用so that
