James Garrison Posted May 18, 2008 at 12:46 AM Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 at 12:46 AM 我们都在为他们捐款 How is 为 used in the above sentence? I've got the rest, but am stuck. I see that the use of 为such as in this sentence is popular. We all now/are making donations to them... Cheers, Jaimito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monto Posted May 18, 2008 at 04:58 AM Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 at 04:58 AM 我们都在为他们捐款 As skylee says, it is "for". 他们 here is "benebiciary " of the verb (action). another use of "为", also means "for", is of reason, For example, 我们为正义而战.

Justinus Posted May 18, 2008 at 05:33 AM Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 at 05:33 AM If I say someone "为" something or someone else "do something", I mean some one is "doing something" "for" something or someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
