辨析
-
for和to都可以接目的，他两的区别在于，for只是表示something的目的，但是没有行动，to有一种正在向这个目的的一个趋势 - 比如说这个句子
She walks ___ work every day.如果填写for的话表示他寻求一个工作，但是不可能是每天寻求工作，所以填写to表示他每天都走路去工作。 -
on和for的辨析，on business意思是从事business,on is engaged in,for business意思是为了商业的目的for is Having (the thing mentioned) as a purpose or function. - 例句：
Susan was called out of town on business.一般是用on表示从事商业活动，而用for的话有一种诉求在里面，感情太过了（表示这个人功利心很重）on的话表示选择了一种职业。 -
on和of的辨析,"Some variations on the activity" vs "Some variations of the activity".variations of means "instances of a changed thing", variations on usually means "a thing [usually a musical theme] with small modifications"on和of的辨析还是要看具体的词的用法，对于variations这个词来说，variation on sth意思是sth的一个小改动，variation of sth意思是一个改变了sth的一个变体，区别在于改动的大小，of的话改动是比较大的，on的话是一个小的改变。
