核心问题
“Is today your birthday?” “Yes, and my mother made ____.”
A. a cake to me B. me a cake C. a cake me D. a cake of me(TOEFL)
答案为 B(me a cake)。但是我认为 A(a cake to me) 也是对的。类例：

词典解答
make 的用法与 give, teach, send, show 不同。当表示“为某人做……”时，则只能采用 make + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语的结构或者 make sth. for sb. 结构：
-
I have made you a cup of tea. (Voynich) 我给你泡了一杯茶。
-
She made a meal for Paul. (CGEL) 她给保罗做了饭。
