Thank you, Mame!

please help!

When the two phrases to somebody and for somebody have been translated into Chinese, they often have the same meaning, so I feel confused when to decide which word should be used to convey the same meaning .
can anybody tell me how to use them?

Here they are interchangeable, Westwind.

1.To/For Zhu Xi(a famous Chinese thinker ) , a state permeated by true Confucian practices would be so internally strong.
2.For/To men accustomed to eating seven-course dinners, the change to the Alps must have been very hard indeed.

That wouldn't always be the case. One example, using a named individual in #2 would create an odd situation;

??For/To Westwind/Zhu Xi accustomed to eating seven-course dinners, the change to the Alps must have been very hard indeed. ??

For/To Westwind/Zhu Xi, who is/was accustomed to eating seven-course dinners, the change to the Alps must have been very hard indeed.

At this moment, I can't see through this to any meaningful distinction. Maybe this will trigger something in others.
