 ♣ be convenient for, be convenient to
　convenient　作表语其后可接介词for，也可接介词to，一般认为意思上无大的差别，不过接for含有“对…方便”的意味，而接to则有时含有“…认为方便”的意味。试体会下面两句的含义：

　另外，接代词时多用to，接名词（特别是动名词或表示动作的名词）时多用for，而引出动词不定式的逻辑主体时则必须用for.

　在你方便的时候请来看我们。
　［误］ Please come to see us when you are convenient.
　［正］ Please come to see us when it is convenient for you.
　［析］ convenient的意思是“使人感到方便的”，不是“（自己）感到方便的”，因此只能用物〔事〕作主语，而不能用人作主语。

　［同义词］ close-at-hand, close-by, nearby, ready, suitable
　［反义词］ awkward, inconvenient
　［词源］　拉丁语convenientia
