　　[誤] Since Maggie asked for a sick leave of three days,she should make up for her lost lessons.

　　[正] Since Maggie asked for a sick leave of three days,she should make up her lost lessons.

　　注：同樣表示“彌補，補償，補足”，make up 后面一般接具體的名詞，如：make up a missed lesson(補課)

　　，a make-up examination(補考)等;而 make up for 后面的名詞通常比較抽象，如：make up for the lost time(彌補時間上的損失)，make up for one\'s defects(補其所短)等。
