care for和care about的区别

care for和care about的区别

区别：

care about和care for在表示“关心，担心，”等意思的时候，用法是一样的，基本可以通用。

如：Don't care about/for me.别担心我。

You needn't care for/about his safety.你不必为他的安全担心。

在表示“介意，计较”等意思的时候，要用care about，后面一般接表示事物的词。 如：He doesn't care about his clothes.他不讲究衣着。

I don't much care about going.我不太想去。

在表示“关怀，照顾”/“愿意...”等意思的时候，要用care for.

如：We must care for the younger generation.我们必须关怀年青的 一代。 Would you care for a walk after supper?晚饭后去散散步好吗？

care about和care for在许多情况下意义是重叠的，都有“喜欢、关心的意思。但作“喜欢、关心”讲，care for比care about要普通。

如：(1) They do not care very greatly for（喜欢，或对……有兴趣）art；

(2) She cares only for（关心）herself and her

family；

(3)The boss only cares about money.(老板只想赚钱。)

care about更强调“考虑、关心。”经常用于否定意义。
