2. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife.

这个地区为野生生物提供食物和栖息地。

⑴ provide sth for sb / sth相当于provide sb / sth with sth,“供给某人(某事)某物”。如:Project Hope will provide books and good schools for the poor children.

= Project Hope will provide the poor children with books and good schools.

⑵ provide for sb 意为“养活某人;提供生活费给某人”,如:

英语中,常常使用“it is + 形容词(+for sb)+ to do sth.”句型,表示“(对于某人来说)干某事怎么样”。其中it是句子的形式主语,真正的主语是其后的动词不定式短语。如:

It’s important for us to protect wetlands. 对我们来说,保护湿地很重要。

It’s quite necessary to walk your pet dog in the open air once a day.

每天一次在户外溜你的宠物狗是必要的。

“按照……号码给某人电话”---------“call sb on / at + 电话号码”;

“发电子邮件到……”-----------“e-mail sb at + 电子信箱”。

温馨提醒:如果号码作宾语就不用介词on或at,直接用call +号码。

Eg: If fire breaks out, please call 119. 假如发生火灾,请拨打119。
