问题: Be quick!!!

Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves.可不可以说成Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time for themselves?为什么?

解答:

不可以。
在“give their kids a bit more time to themselves.”中,to是“属于”的意思,相当于“the answer to the question”、“the key to the door”,且themselves指(孩子们)自己;
在“give their kids a bit more time for themselves”中,for themselves会产生歧义:是为父母们自己还是为孩子们自己?
所以是不可以替换的,理解了to的释义就不会犯错了。
