　　Coordination of to-infinitive clauses
　　In English, the to-infinitive clause is a very important structure, by which a sentence may become compact, orderly, or even metrical. And the use of a coordination of two or more to-infinitive clauses in a sentence does more help to the expressing of the meaning of the sentence, different clauses with the same structure indicating different meanings. Now, I’ m going to talk about its use in the English language.
　　(A)The position of syntax function of coordinate to-infinitive clauses.
　　If coordinate to-infinitive clauses of a sentence is regarded as a whole, they can be used as any part of the sentence except predicate verb.
　　(1) Subject

　　It is better to keep your mouth closed and not to have them than to have them and not to deserve them. [Mark Twain]
　　(B) The function of coordinate to-infinitive clauses in respect of meaning in a sentence.
　　To-infinitive clauses can show diverse meanings in sentences. Most of the times, some other structures can also convey the same meanings, such as ing-participles, subordinate clause and so on, but in some special situations, the use of infinitive clauses may favor the sentence immensely better.
　　(1) Indicating time
　　The general stood with Major Ekonomov at the bridge, watching the retreating companies go by, a soldier to run up to him and to hold of his stirrup, almost clinging to it. [War and Peace]
　　In the days, nine suitors to gather up and to kneel round her in a circle, she guarded her nakedness apprehensively, as though trying to express the value of her body in terms of the modesty she accorded it. [The Unbearable Lightness of Being]
　　(2) Explaining reason
　　Either he to have stolen wine orgave away the secrets of Zeus,or he to have become so proud as to test the gods by serving up the flesh of his son Pelopsto them,he incurred the wrath of Zeus and was hurled down to the everlasting darkness of Tartarus. [Ancient Greek Stories]

　　(5)Denoting or implying result
　　When Buck earned sixteen hundred dollars in five minutes for John Thornton, he made it possible for his master to pay off certain debts and to journey with his partners into the East after a fabled lost mine, the history of which was as old as the history of the country.

　　[The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Franders Robinson Crusoe]
　　(C)The relationship on function or meaning between the coordinate to-infinitive clauses themselves.
