以下哪兩句正確?
1. I want to buy a tie to my father.
2. I want to buy a tie for my father.
3. I want to give a tie to my father.
4. I want to give a tie for my father.
正確答案是第二及第三句!
在中文的文法而言, 我們會說 "買.......給......" 或 "送......給......" 。中文的一個"給"字, 轉換成英文時, 就要適當地放上 "for" 或 "to"了!
所以我們要好好記著正確的介詞用法,不要弄錯了:
"buy (something) for (someone)"
"give (something) to (someone)"
順帶一提, "for" 也有 "為了" 的意思。
下次當父母生日時, "Please buy a cake for them!" 或 "Please give a hug to them!"
