關於to...for的一個問題<急用!>

Question

之前寫到一個選擇
題目是
This gift is __ my father.

選項有to也有for
本來選for但答案是to
但我印象裡面for才是對的
還是有兩種用法?

Answer 1

This gift is __ my father.
選項有to也有for
本來選for但答案是to

答案錯了, 正解是for.

be動詞表狀態或性質, 與具有動作功能的其他動詞有別.
beV大多無方向性, 用for; 少數有方向性用to, 例如 "is to the left".
其他動詞:
如動作無方向性, 用for.
如動作可有方向性, 則to與for皆可.
如動作有方向性, 則用to.

This gift is for my father.
This gift is selected for my father.
This gift is bought for my father.
This gift is reserved/kept for my father.

This gift is sent to/for my father.
This gift is brought to/for my father.

This gift is given to my father.
This gift is delivered to my father.
This gift is handed to my father.
This gift is submitted to my father.

Answer 2

to是強調這禮物是給誰的
for是強調這是為誰準備的

for有貢獻的屬性
to只是單純給誰

其實在這裡幾乎一樣

Answer 3

我會用 This gift is for my father.
基本上to 跟 for 很難區分.
不過看看以下兩句
I gave a present to him. = I gave him a present.
Let me buy a present for you. = Let me buy you a present.

Answer 4

我的老師我教過我

to 是「給」的意思

for 是「為了」

我不知道對不對

如果是我也會選to ^^

比如說

My brother buy the gift __ me

這時候就要用 for

buy 是特殊用法後面一定要用for

希望對你有些幫助 ^^
