Gift is more formal than present and is used especially in business contexts: a store will advertise its Christmas gift ideas; the people who buy them will talk about the Christmas presents they have bought for family and friends. 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; NAmE doʊˈneɪʃn [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 ⇨ give 5 ■ contribution ˌkɒntrɪˈbjuːʃn; NAmE ˌkɑːntrɪˈbjuːʃn [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 ⇨ give 5 NOTE 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

verb

(-pp-) [transitive, intransitive] ◆Did you remember to tip the waiter?你记得给服务员小费了吗？◆Americans were always welcome because they tended to tip heavily.美国人总是很受欢迎，因为他们往往给很多小费。■ gratuity grəˈtjuːəti; NAmE grəˈtuːəti [countable] (formal) a tip 小费；赏钱◆Our employees may not accept gratuities.我们的员工不允许收小费。■ handout ˈhændaʊt [countable] (often disapproving) money that is given to a person or organization by the government, for example to encourage commercial activity 政府拨款（如为了促进商业活动而拨给个人或机构）◆The company is currently thriving thanks to a £70 000 government handout.受惠于政府7万英镑的拨款，这家公司目前正在蓬勃发展。ⓘ Handouts can also be given to people who are poor. * handout还可指派给穷人的捐赠品、救济品。   see also handout ⇨ aid noun , hand sth out ⇨ distribute
