show…for和show..to如何区分？

"show...for"表示为别人展示自己的东西，通常用于表达感谢、道歉或求助等情境。而"show..to"则是为别人展示自己的东西，也可以表示为了某人完成某事或达到某个目的。"我很感谢你昨天帮我修理自行车。show me how to fix it." 与 "I will show you how to fix it." 有明显的区别。

Show someone something to or for another person means that you are giving them the opportunity to see it. On the other hand, show someone something to oneself means that you are expressing something about yourself through action.

There is also a difference in tone when using "show" versus "show." For example, "show respect to parents" is used to show gratitude towards one's parents, while "show off my new shoes" implies confidence and pride in ones' appearance.

When it comes to adjectives that follow the word "show," it depends on the verb they modify. Here are some examples:
