英语语法：The employers found a growing demand for training among their employees. 请翻译

Question

如果for换成of 意思又是如何？

Answer 1

意思有差别。

for 表示目的或原因，demand for training 意思是“对于培养的需要/要求”或者“由于培养的需要/要求”；

of 表示在…方面的所属关系，demand of training 的意思是“属于培养的需要/要求”或者“在培养方面的需要/要求”。

因此以下两个句子表达的意思各有侧重：

The employers found a growing demand for training among their employees. 雇主感到了对于雇员中间进行培养的日益增长的需要。【意思是“为了达到培养目的的需要”】

The employers found a growing demand of training among their employees. 雇主感到了在雇员中间培养方面日益增长的需要。【意思是“属于培养方面的需要”】

Answer 2

In the majority of companies, more (resources) are allocated to management training than to other areas. Employers (regard) their better qualified staff as more important to the business, so they pay them accordingly and invest more in them in (terms) of training. This is (testified) by the fact that organisations are dependent on properly (informed) managers making the right decisions. But this (emphasis) may mean that companies are (letting) other parts of the workforce down.
【The researchers found a growing demand for training among the lower-skilled.】 Unfortunately this demand is not being (met) by employers, even though there are strong indications that companies would benefit from doing so. They also discovered that, despite the substantial (gap) between the training provided for managers and that offered to other staff, there was still widespread endorsement of training.
答：本句改自BEC商务英语中级考试历年真题（52）中的这一句话。
研究者发现对低技术职员的培训需求在增长
这个for表示“对于。。。的”，不是表示目的的“为了”。
