1. Saving up for”(在日常对话中使用多)

· 朋友、家人之间的闲聊。听起来更友好、更关心你的个人目标。
· ex： What are you saving up for? A new car? A vacation?
· up暗示将零散的钱一点一点积攒起来的过程，直到凑够一笔可观的数目来实现特定目标。

2. Saving for (更标准、稍正式)

· 可能听起来有点直接、生硬，或者像问卷调查。
· ex银行职员： And what is the purpose of this savings account? What are you saving for?
· 直接问 Are you saving for anything?甚至可能让人感觉有点尴尬或不自然。

To save up (for something)
是一个短语动词，为了购买某个特定的东西而存钱、攒钱
· ex：
· “If you want to buy a house, you better start saving up now.
· I’m saving up for a trip to Japan.
