1.in future ＝ from now on 意为“今后,以后”,常指离现在较近的一段将来时间.强调与过去相对照,过去是什么情况,今后将是什么情况.

Be more careful with your spelling in future/from now on.
今后要更加注意你的拼写.
2.in the future ＝in time yet to come 意为“将来”,常指包括in future在内的较远
的将来一段时间.in the near future指“在不久的将来”.如：
Who knows what will happen in the future 谁知道将来会发生什么事?
I'm sure he will come to understand this in the near future．
我敢肯定在不久的将来他会慢慢明白这一点的.
3.for the future常意为“为将来”.如：
It is necessary to plan for the future．对未来进行规划是必要的.
【注】in future常指将来某一时间,in the future常指全部的将来,在日常英语中,有时这两个短语的区别并不十分明显.
