这个和GOOD FOR YOU有什么区别么？偶老是2个混用。。。汗！~

小样儿

"Good on you" means  "you've done well".

"Good for you" means "(something) can do you good"

小样儿

when someone says "good on you" (usually your boss), you can say "thanks!"

bulaohu

just say thanx

Good for you - This kind of food is good for you.

NN..可是有时候是不是也能混用呢？某人GET PROMOTED，偶听到的是2个都有人说。。。

如果你同事说的是"Good on you"就是等于说“你小子混得不错！恭喜恭喜”

如果你同事说的是"Good for you” 就是等于说“你小子运气不错，这新职位对你挺好，恭喜恭喜”

1. Good for you = Good on you, when  an expression of approval , encouragement or  congradulation is
applied.( I also notice they are spoken mostly at the end of a conversation, immediately before Good Bye.
Right?)
2. an expression of promoting health: Good for you.

补充一个，好比你抢了某个鬼子的女朋友，哪天在路上碰上了，这个鬼子也会恶狠狠的跟你说 good on you。到时候你说thankl you，就得挨拳头了。。。

OK, common sense - if they mean the same, then only one expression can survive the time. Fact is that both survived, so they must have different meanings. Yes "good for you" makes some sense when used to congratulate someone's promotion to a higher position, however even under this scenario, it still has a slightly different meaning from "good on you". And I do believe "good for you" is more frequently used to approve something that is beneficial to a person, like healthy diet, regular gym sessions, a new skill etc. "good on you" emphasizes the achievement of that person and recognizes his/her personal effort in achieving that.

So in my view, these two terms do have a small common subset of meanings, but they are still fundamentally different phrases.

If i am not wrong, outside of Oz, ppl use "good for you"; meaning the same as "good on you" here;
depending on what you did.
