當然唔係如樓上所講:common sense。如果唔係英文有相當造詣,唔可以用所謂「覺得」、「認為」去估。
我引用 merriam-webster 網上字典(www.m-w.com)o既定義作解釋:
for
1 a—used as a function word to indicate purpose(目的)<a grant for studying medicine> b—used as a function word to indicate an intended goal(目標)<left for home><acted for the best>
呢兩個字義,就正正係 "of great importance for health" o既意思--運動對健康極重要。
to
7 a—used as a function word (1) to indicate the application of an adjective or a noun <agreeable to everyone><attitude to friends><title to the property>
of great importance to us 應用上,就似上例 attitude to friends,to 就係帶出 importance 係用於其後o既名詞。
