✔ 最佳答案
gift present
都含“禮物”的意思, 兩詞可以互換。
gift在語體上較為正式, 帶有一定的感情色彩, 側重送禮人的誠意, 有時含有“捐贈”的意思, 如:
This was given me as a birthday gift [present].
這是給我的生日禮物。
present 系普通用語, 一般指“值錢不多的禮物”, 表示下對上送禮的意思, 如:
Each child brought a little present to the mother.
每個孩子給母親帶來一件小禮物。

Maybe Gift=Present...

A gift or present is the transfer of something, without the need for compensation that is involved in trade. A gift is a voluntary act which does not require anything in return. Even though it involves possibly a social expectation of reciprocity, or a return in the form of prestige or power, a gift is meant to be free.

In many human societies, the act of mutually exchanging money, goods, etc. may contribute to social cohesion. Economists have elaborated the economics of gift-giving into the notion of a gift economy.

By extension the term gift can refer to anything that makes the other happier or less sad, especially as a favour, including forgiveness and kindness (even when the other is not kind).
