A present is usually given by and to an individual; a gift may be given by a company (a corporate gift) and/or to an organization. A present is usually an object, but a gift may be a sum of money, or sth such as the gift of love/life. * gift比present正式,尤用于商务语境。商店作广告宣传的圣诞礼物创意用Christmas gift idea,为家人或朋友购买的圣诞礼物用Christmas present。present通常为个人赠送或收到的礼物,gift可以是公司或机构赠送或收到的礼物,如a corporate gift。present通常为物品,但gift可以是一笔钱,或另类形式的礼物,如the gift of love/life(爱/生命的给予)◆funded by a present of £50 000◆She gave me the present of love.Especially in American English, however, gift is not always so formal and is sometimes used in personal contexts instead of present.不过,尤其在美式英语中,gift不总是如此正式,有时会代替present用于个人场合◆The watch was a gift / present from my mother.这块手表是我妈妈送的礼物。■donation dəʊˈneɪʃn; NAmEdoʊˈneɪʃn [countable] something that is given to a person or organization such as a charity, in order to help them; the act of giving sth in this way(给某人或慈善机构等的)捐赠物,捐款;捐赠◆I made a £200 donation to charity.我向慈善机构捐了200英镑。◆The work of the charity is funded by voluntary donations.这家慈善机构的运作靠自愿捐款资助。◆Organ donation(= allowing doctors to use organs from your body after your death in order to save a sick person's life) has not kept pace with the demand for transplants.器官捐献赶不上器官移植的需求。 see also donate ⇨ give5■contributionˌkɒntrɪˈbjuːʃn; NAmEˌkɑːntrɪˈbjuːʃn [countable, uncountable] a sum of money or sth that is given to a person or organization in order to help pay for sth or raise money for sth; the act of giving sth in this way捐款;捐物;捐助◆He has made several valuable contributions towards the upkeep of the cathedral.他几次慷慨捐资修葺大教堂。◆Contributions of cakes and other items for the cake sale can be left in the school office.为糕点义卖捐赠的糕点和其他物品可以放到学校办公室。◆We rely entirely on voluntary contribution.我们全靠自愿捐资。 see also contribute ⇨ give5NOTE辨析 Donation or contribution?Contribution places more emphasis on the money or thing given being part of a whole, to be added to other amounts or things that other people have given. Contributions are often expected or asked for; donations are seen more as voluntary gifts. * contribution更强调捐赠的财物为整体的一部分,和他人捐赠的财物合在一起。contribution常为预期会得到或请求别人作出的捐助,donation更多为自愿捐赠。■tip [countable] a small amount of extra money that you give to sb who has provided a service for you, for example in a restaurant小费(如在餐馆中给的)◆Are we supposed to leave a tip?我们要留小费吗?◆He gave the waiter a generous tip.他给了服务员很多小费。▸tip
