solution to + noun vs solution for + noun
- solution to + noun 通常指針對一個具體問題、謎題或數學題的「解答」或「答案」，強調問題與答案的直接對應關係。
- solution for + noun 則更常指為一個情況、需求或困難所提供的「解決方案」或「處理辦法」，範圍較廣，可能包含一系列步驟或方法。
- 在許多情況下，兩者可以互換，但細微差別在於
to指向問題本身，for指向受問題影響的人或情境。 - 片語
the solution to doing something較為少見，通常會使用a solution for doing something或a way to do something。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Solution"?Which "Solution" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×We need to find a solution for this problem.
✓We need to find a solution to this problem.
「solution」後面接問題時，通常使用介系詞「to」，而不是「for」。雖然「for」在某些非正式語境中可能被接受，但「solution to a problem」是標準且更常見的搭配。
×He came up with solution that surprised everyone.
✓He came up with a solution that surprised everyone.
當「solution」指一個具體的解決辦法時，它是可數名詞，前面通常需要冠詞（a/the）或所有格代名詞（his, our等）。只有在泛指「解決」這個抽象概念時才是不可數的。
×We must solution this issue quickly.
✓We must solve this issue quickly.
「solution」是名詞，意思是「解決方案」。對應的動詞是「solve」（解決）。不能將名詞「solution」當作動詞使用。
×Several possible solution was considered.
✓Several possible solutions were considered.
當被「several」、「many」、「different」等表示複數的詞修飾時，「solution」必須使用複數形式「solutions」，且動詞也需用複數形式。
×Please add more salt into the water solution.
✓Please add more salt to the aqueous solution.
在化學或科學語境中，「solution」（溶液）特指一種或多種物質溶解於溶劑（通常是水）中形成的均勻混合物。泛指時常用「aqueous solution」（水溶液）。日常語境中說「salt water」即可。此錯誤在於混淆了日常用語與科學術語的精確性。
