英语重点词汇change sth与change for sth的区别详解
请看下面这道题：
The camera isn’t good enough; I want to change ______.
A. another B. a good one
C. it with another D. it for another
【分析】
英语中的 change sth 表示的是“更换某物”，sth 是被换的东西，而 change sth for sth else 表示的才是“用某物换另一物”。
Change sb/sth (for sb/sth) | change sth (to sth)

下面的内容摘自《中学英语高频词详解词典》的change词条：
(1) change…for… 意为“用……换来……”。如：

正：The camera isn’t good enough; I want to change it (for another).
误：The camera isn’t good enough; I want to change another.
所以此题容易根据汉语字面意思误选A或B。
