will talk about when we only use to and

會講到當我們只用到和

when we only use for. But today we're

當我們只用為。但今天我們

going to look at when both are possible.

去看看什麼時候都可以。

Situation number one: when these

情況一：當這些

prepositions are used to express a

介詞是用來表達

reason or the intention of something.

理或某事的意圖。

What I mean is sometimes these

我的意思是，有時這些

prepositions to & for tell us why. For

介詞to&for告訴我們為什麼。對於

example, last year I went to Spain. Why? To

比如，去年我去了西班牙。為什麼要去？去

visit my

訪我

friend. For a wedding. When we use those

朋友。對於一個婚禮。當我們使用這些

prepositions, it's telling us why the

介詞，它是在告訴我們為什麼要用

reason or the intention. But there is a

理由或意圖。但有一個

difference in how we use these in a

我們在使用這些東西時的區別

sentence so I want to help you

句所以我想幫你

understand that difference. Let's look at

明白這個區別。讓我們來看看

these two sentences. Last year I went to

這兩句話。去年我去

Spain for my friend's wedding. Last year

西班牙參加我朋友的婚禮。去年的時候

I went to Spain to attend my friend's

我去西班牙參加了我朋友的婚禮

wedding. These are very similar sentences

婚禮。這些都是非常相似的句子

but there is a little difference. Can you

但有一點不同。你能

identify what that difference is? If you

辨別這種區別是什麼？如果你

can't don't worry. Let's look at two more

不能別擔心。我們再看兩個

examples to help you do that. After work

例子來幫助你做到這一點。下班後

today I stopped by the grocery store for

今天我去雜貨店買了點東西

some coffee. After work today I stopped

一些咖啡。今天下班後，我停下來

by the grocery store to buy some coffee.

由雜貨店買一些咖啡。

Once again these are very similar. Can

all four of these sentences: I have for

這四句話都有。我已經為

my friend's wedding and for coffee or to

我朋友的婚禮，喝咖啡或去。

attend my friend's wedding or to buy

參加朋友的婚禮或購買

coffee. Hopefully you're starting to

咖啡。希望你開始

notice that immediately after the word to

注意到，在 "到 "字之後

we need a verb. For example, last year I

我們需要一個動詞。例如，去年我

went to Spain to visit my friend, to

去西班牙看望我的朋友，去

attend a wedding, I went to the grocery

參加婚禮，我去了雜貨店。

store to buy coffee. Now before we move

商店買咖啡。在我們行動之前

on to situation number 2, let's look at

在第二種情況下，讓我們來看看。

one more example. And this time I want

再舉一個例子。這次我想

you to decide which preposition is

你來決定哪個介詞是

correct. In a few months I'm going to

正確的。再過幾個月我就要

California ___ a work conference. In a few

加利福尼亞州__召開工作會議。在幾個

months I'm going to California ___

幾個月後我要去加州

a work conference. Should I use to or

工作會議。我應該使用到或

for?

為

Hopefully you chose for

希望你選擇的是

because the last words are a work

因為最後一句話是一個作品

conference. We don't have a verb there so

會議。我們沒有一個動詞，所以。

we're going to use for. In a few months

我們要用在。再過幾個月

I'm going to California for a work

我要去加州工作

conference.

會議，

Now situation number two: these

第二種情況：這些

prepositions to & for can also be used in a

介詞to&for也可以在

sentence to indicate a recipient. That

句子，以表明收件人。該

might be a new word - a recipient. A

可能是一個新詞--收件人。A

recipient is someone who receives

接受者

something, they are a receiver. For

東西，他們是一個接收器。對於

example, my sister sent a birthday card

比如，我妹妹送來了一張生日賀卡

to me. To me. I am the receiver or the

給我。對我來說我是接受者或

recipient and to is helping us

接受者，並對正在幫助我們

understand that. It's indicating who is

明白這一點。這是在表明誰是

receiving something. So let's look at two

接收的東西。所以我們來看兩個

examples sentences again that are very

例句又是很

similar but let's see if you can

類似，但讓我們看看你能不能

identify the difference. I made a gift

辨別區別。我送了一份禮物

for my friend. I gave a gift to my friend.

給我的朋友。我送了一份禮物給我的朋友。

What do you think about those two

你對這兩個人有什麼看法

sentences? Both to and for are indicating

句子？to和for都是表示

the receiver but here the focus is

但這裡的重點是

really on the verb that is used. In the

真的是在使用的動詞上。在

second sentence, I use the word gave or

第二句話，我用了 "給了 "或

to give. When I use that verb it

給予。當我使用這個動詞時，它

indicates movement or transfer, something

乃

is exchanged or it goes from point A to

交換或從A點到

point B. When we use verbs that indicate

B點，當我們用動詞來表示

a movement exchange or transfer such as

調換

to give, to take, to mail, to sell, to send,

給、拿、寄、賣、送。

we follow that verb with the preposition

我們在該動詞後面加上介詞

to. I'll give you another example. Imagine

到。我再給你舉個例子。想象一下

that you have a really important event

大難不死，必有後福

coming up soon maybe you're shopping for

馬上就要到了，也許你正在選購

a new dress and you find

新衣服，你發現

perfect dress. You're so excited. But they

完美的衣服。你太興奮了但他們

don't have the right size. So the store

沒有合適的尺寸。所以店家

says they will order it for you and

說他們會幫你訂，然後

after the dress arrives they will send

衣服到了之後，他們會把

it to you. Send is one of those verbs

它給你。發送是其中的一個動詞

that indicates movement, exchange

兌換

transfer, it's going from A to B so we

轉移，它從A到B，所以我們。

use to you. They will send it to you. And

用到你身上。他們會寄給你。而且

finally it is important to me or it is

最後，它對我很重要，或者它是

important for me - what is the difference

對我來說很重要--有什麼區別

between these expressions? In the

這些表達方式之間的?在

sentence: "My job interview tomorrow is

句。"我明天的工作面試是

really important for me,"

對我來說真的很重要，"

could I also use it is important to me?

我也可以用它對我很重要嗎？

What do you think? Both are correct. Both

你覺得呢？兩者都是正確的。兩個都是

can be used but there is just a small

可以使用，但只是有一個小

it focuses on the personal feeling or

它的重點是個人感覺或

value that something has. For example, I

TO me because my grandmother gave it to

對我來說，因為我的祖母給了它

me as a gift. With that expression I'm

我作為一個禮物。用這種表達方式，我

saying that this gift has value to me

說這個禮物對我有價值

maybe it's emotional value, sentimental

也許是情感價值，感性

value but it's special to me and if you

但它對我來說很特別，如果你...

were listening, if you paid attention I

如果你注意聽，我

also said my grandmother gave it TO me.

還說我奶奶給了我TO。

We're talking about a verb with

我們正在談論一個動詞與

transport or movement. Now let's go back

運輸或移動。現在讓我們回到

to that first sentence about the job

對第一句話的工作
