The same is true of / for的使用方法不同

The same is true _______Germany, and to a lesser extent Japan.

请问这里是填 for 还是 of？

The same is true of…与The same is true for…有什么不同？

谢谢！

就这道题而言，两个选项都是对的。若是考试，优先选of。在英语中the same is true of/for 意思基本相同。假如不和same搭配会有差别。请看英美报刊例句：

The same is true for the manufacturing industry.
The same is true for stress, which can also cause fatigue.
As we shall see, the same is true for the reaction of private consumption.

The same is true of a doctor who prevents a serious illness.
The same is true of the program for older worker adjustment.
The same is true of economic reform and political reform.

通常口语中用for 多于of. 也有偶尔用with的，如：The same is true with love.
The same is true with major donors.

假如不与same连用，那会不同。如：This is especially true for old people.
这里for,可以在不同上下文会有变异。通常可以理解为在老年人看来，对老年人而言等。
