Help me with "我对这个很好奇"

I have a sentence Anki deck I've been making for about a year now. Today "我对这个很好奇。" came up but I have no memory of adding this sentence or where I found it. The translation I have is "I am very curious.", but when I read it to me it reads like "Me, towards this, very curious" or "I'm very curious about this".

Since I can't remember where the card is from I can't check the context or see why the translation is "I'm very curious" to check. Maybe its a cut and paste fail and I just cut off the "about this". Or maybe I'm missing some gramatical construction that changes the reading? It would be great if someone who's mandarin isn't horrible can check for me?

Thanks

Well, you can learn some English, macshi.

In English,

What opinion do you have about this matt
er?

What's your opinion about this matter?

What opinion do you have regarding this matt
er?

What opinion do you have towards this matt
er?

What opinon do you have with respect to this matter?

all mean exactly the same thing.

In my English dictionary, it lists among the the definitions of towards:

with respect to; as regards.
