老师答疑

王老师：

就这道题而言，两个选项都是对的。如果是考试，优先选of。在英语中the same is true of/for 意思基本相同。如果不和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.

一般口语中用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.

如果不与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。一般可以理解为在老年人看来，对老年人而言等。

曹老师：

Unfortunately, these findings do not hold true (= are not valid) for women and children.

The music is dull and uninspiring, and the same is true of the acting.牛津

be/hold true (for someone/something): 麦克米伦

The students are excitedand the same holds true for their teachers.

true of someone/something: 

It rains a lot in the northwest, and that is especially true of Cumbria.

true of The same is true of all political parties.

true for This is especially true for old people. 

The results appear to hold true (=still be correct) for other countries.朗文

通过以上三个词典例句，可以看出，当true前为hold时，介词需用for；如果true前为be，则of和for均可，几乎没有差别。
