for you 是不定式的逻辑主语。说明不定式的动作是you 发出的。
不定式都有自己的逻辑主语,它可能是句子的主语、宾语,也可能是由for或of引出的名词或代词。那么,这类带有逻辑主语的不定式称为不定式的复合结构。
(1)逻辑主语是句子中的某个成分。

那位妈妈答应给她儿子买手机。(to buy的逻辑主语是the mother)
The teacher encourages the boy student to study harder.
老师鼓励那位男生更加努力地学习。(to study的逻辑主语为the boy student)
(2)由for 引出不定式的逻辑主语。
若不定式前的形容词说明不定式的性质,其逻辑主语一般用for引出。

(3)由of 引出不定式的逻辑主语。
不定式前的形容词描述的是不定式逻辑主语的品质、身份、特征时,该逻辑主语用of引出。这时,逻辑主语与前面的形容词构成主表关系。
