英语短语file for的核心含义是“向官方/权威机构提交正式申请、请求或文件,以启动某一法律/行政程序”,简言之就是“申请(某事物)”,强调“通过提交正式文件启动流程”。
“file for”后接具体的“申请对象”(如离婚、破产、救济等),结构为:主语 + file for + 名词。以下是高频搭配及例句:
file for divorce 申请离婚
She decided to file for divorce after years of marital unhappiness.(多年婚姻不幸后,她决定申请离婚。)
file for bankruptcy 申请破产
The company filed for bankruptcy to avoid being sued by creditors.(公司申请破产以避免被债权人起诉。)

file for a patent 申请专利

若需明确“向谁提交申请”,可在后面加“with + 机构”:

核心逻辑:通过提交正式文件启动“申请→审批”的流程;
动作主体:个人、公司或组织(需发起申请的一方);
时态变化:过去式/过去分词为filed for(如“filed for divorce”)。
只要涉及“正式申请某事物”(尤其是法律/行政场景),都可以用“file for”!
