English term or phrase: to be understood

Many folds or faults, for instance, can be discovered or confirmed (from areial photography) by geological mapping.
If seen in outcrop, these features must be mapped over a large area to be understood.

我的翻译是
例如，地质填图发现和确认了（从航片中发现的）很多褶皱和断层。如果在露头中发现了褶皱和断层等地质特点，那么必须在地质图上标明这些地质特点以便于理解地质构造。
但不知道对于to be understood的翻译对不对。谢谢。

“声和音说的是同样东西”？声和音当然有所不同了!声是音的来源，音是声的延续，先有声后有音，进而衍生为：声是表现，音是内涵，所谓听话要听音，是指听话不仅要听进入你耳朵的声这个表象，还要听出“音”这个内涵，所谓弦外之音亦是这个道理。所以人们教导他人时总是说：听话要听音，不要光听声！至于：“才能/方能”在中文常与“只有------才能/方能------”搭配，是表示条件或假设的句型（“只有”可以省略），而您又“也认为”这里to be ---是目的，显然语义有所不同。

声和音说的是同样东西，我用那个比方是从http://www.proz.com/kudoz/chinese_to_english/government_poli...。不过，我虽也认为"to be understood"表示目的，却不认为此短语与"to understand..."的语气是相同的。

当然是被动式啦：）我的理解是：这里的动词不定式短语to be understood是目的状语，是"must be mapped over a large area"的目的；译为“以便了解 / 以待了解”正合文意！当然，不同文化或地域的人们对于语言的理解与把握或许会有所不同吧。比方说您那儿是“听话听声”，而我们这儿却是“听话听音”，所谓“话音话音”，从来没有“话声”之说；“听话听声”会被认为搭配不当，要是作业里这样写了，老师是要给麻叉的：）扯远了，嘿嘿！还是让提问者自己定夺啦！

@Sherwin: 这当然可以是“见仁见智”的问题，不过“才能/方能”与“以便”在语气上有差异，毕竟“听鼓听音，听话听声”。"If seen in outcrop, these features must be mapped over a large area to be understood."这话里强调的是"must be mapped over a large area"，后头的"to be understood"并非主动式，而是被动式，两种表达在语气上有明显的差异。这是我同意lai an的主因。

我同意lai an提供的答案：例如，由地质填图可发现或（从航片）可确认有许多褶皱和断层。若在露头中可见褶皱和断层，则这些特点必须放在更广泛区域的地质图上来看，方能(正确)解读/理解(它们在地质上的意义)。（确实是“才能/方能”。）

Explanation:
仅供参考：
例如，地质测绘中可以（从航片）发现和确认很多褶皱或断层。如果在露头中看到了褶皱或断层，那么必须在待了解的大面积区域上测绘这些特征。
