prize,award和reward什么区别?

1个回答

  • 这两个词都可以用作名词和动词,作名词时,意义相近,

    但不是同义词.

    作名词时,award的意思是“奖品”、“奖金”,

    其义与prize近似,两者都指因为作出杰出成就而受奖.例:

    The Olympic winner received a gold medal as an award.

    He won the second award of $ 2,000.

    而reward作名词时,其意为“赏金”、“酬金”

    或一些非金钱的报酬.例:

    We will offer a reward of ten thousand dollars for information about the case.

    如果有人提供有关案件的情报,我们愿意出一万元赏金.

    We don't expect substantial rewards.我们并不期望得到优厚的报酬.

    用作动词时,award的意思是“授与”、“颁发”、“判给”;

    reward则表示“报答”、“酬谢”之意.例:

    He was awarded the first prize for Outstanding Industrial Design.他获杰出工业设计一等奖.

    We judge awarded him twenty thousand dollars as damages.法官判给他二万元作为赔偿费.

    You should reward them according to their deserts.你应该对他们论功行赏.

    reward也可以用于比喻意.例:

    I would feel amply rewarded if my book—A Study of English Twins—could be of some help to the readers.

    如果我的书《英语学生词语之研究》对读者有所帮助的话,

    我就感到心满意足了.
