托福口语/写作中的介词用法:to和for

2019-04-16 10:41:49来源:太原新东方 耿恺婕

  很多同学在口语或者是写作时,对于两个介词的使用总是傻傻分不清楚,这就是传说中的to和for啦,今天老师来给大家梳理一下这两个介词的用法~

来源:太原新东方 耿恺婕

  TO

  1.direction/destination/distance

  从一个地方去另一个地方(movement)。这里要注意的是,movement不只是具体的place,也可以是比较抽象的地方。

  Do you usually take the bus to school? / If you’re feeling sick you should talk to a doctor. / It’s only 6 kilometers from my house to the office.

  2. time/time between two points

  表述截止到的时间点,或是从某个时间点到另一个时间点。

  I study English Monday to Thursday every week. / The supermarket is open from 9 to 7.

  3. preference

  表达两者之间更喜欢/倾向于选择某一个的时候。

  I prefer chocolate ice cream to vanilla ice cream.

  4. limit/endpoint

  表达结束点或是极限点,常与up to换用。

  During the flood, the water came to my knees. / The tickets could cost up to $200 each during the high season.

  For

  1.benefits

  表达益处/好处。

  Ginger is great for your immune system.

  2. duration/ period of time

  表达一段时间,因此常与完成时连用。

  They’ve been living in the city for three years already./ I’ve been waiting for 20 minutes already. Where are you?

  3. helping someone

  表达帮助谁,或为谁做什么事情。

  I baked a cake for you./ I need to collect the mail for my mother./ Could you grab those apples for me?

  4. function/use/purpose

  表达功能以及用途,常用for + Ving。

  Yeast is used for baking bread./ That camera is used for taking pictures underwater.

  TO & FOR

  (reasons/motive)

  两个介词都可以用来表达原因或是动机,只是在用法上略有不同,to后加动词原形,for后加名词。

  He studied English to apply for a job./ She is studying French for work.

  Attention:

  有时候这两个动词用在同一个句子中会出现完全不同的意思哦~be careful

  My assistant brought lunch to me.

  (这句话中“我”是destination,我的助理实际意义上把午餐带到了我这里)

  My boss brought lunch for me.

  (这句话在我的上司帮我带午餐过来,强调“帮我”)

  类似的,大家来区别一下下面这两句吧:

  I made a quick phone call to my mom.

  (我打电话给妈妈)

  I made a quick phone call for my mom.

  (我帮妈妈打电话)

  大家清楚了这两个介词的区别了吗?

  下次别用错了哦~下面还有一些common collocations

  大家可以记背起来:

  Apologize for sth.

  Apologize to sb.

  Travel to somewhere

  Travel for (purpose/time)

  Apply for sth.

  Apply to sb.
