care to do sth care for sb
分别是"小心做某事"和"关心(担心)某人"
Care 虽然是 小心/谨慎/注意/照管 的意识,可是在这里就有些不一样了。
Care to do something for somebody-
比如,
a)Would you care to do something for me?
你可以帮我个忙吗? / 你在意帮我做件事吗?
------------
care for somebody to do something
比如,
Would you care for Serene enough to help her out?
在这里的 care for 是 cherish 爱护的意识。
所以解释是,
你如果爱护SERENE的话,你可以帮助她吗?
简单的说-
care to do something - 帮我个忙
care for somebody to do something - 关心一个人而肯帮助他
