如何掌握 for sb. 和 to sb. 的区别？ 第1页

谢邀!
I will answer this by using examples to explain the differences between the meanings of sentences that use these phrases.

Important to

A is important to B.

B is a person or living being that values A.

• My family is important to me. (This sentence means "I value my family".)
• Your health is important to her.
• Reading is important to them.

Important for

C is important for D.

C is something that D really needs or is greatly affected by not having, but D is rarely a living being. D is usually an event or action.

• Food is important for survival. (This does not mean "survival values food". It means "food is necessary for survival".)
• Reading is important for learning
• Getting into a good school is important for my future.

I hope this helps.
