今天我们一起练习几个和礼物有关的Part 1,并学习一些表达方式吧。
Q1
Have you ever sent handmade gifts to others?
✔
送过的回答
Yes, definitely. I think handmade gifts carry a special warmth that store-bought ones just can't match. I remember making a photo album for my best friend's birthday, filled with pictures and little notes. It took me a whole week, but seeing how touched she was made it totally worth it.
是的,当然。我觉得手工礼物有一种特别的温度,是商店里买不到的。我记得为我最好的朋友生日做过一本相册,里面贴满了照片和小纸条。整整花了我一周时间,但看到她那么感动,一切都值了。

没送过的回答
To be honest, I haven't. I'm not really a crafty person, and I always worry that my handmade gift might end up looking a bit clumsy. So I prefer to buy gifts that look nice and presentable. But I do admire people who can make things by hand.
说实话我没送过。我不太擅长手工,总担心自己做出来的礼物会不太精致。所以我更喜欢买那些看起来漂亮得体的礼物。不过我确实很佩服那些会亲手做东西的人。
亮点词汇:
※ Carry a special warmth
带有特别的温暖
※ Store-bought
商店里买的※ Touched
感动的※ Crafty person
擅长手工的人※ Clumsy
笨拙的,不精致的
Q2
Have you ever received a great gift?
✔
收到过的回答
Absolutely. One gift that really stands out in my memory was a fountain pen from my father on my 18th birthday. It wasn't expensive, but he knew I loved writing and he had it engraved with my name. That personal touch made it incredibly special.
当然啦。让我印象最深的一个礼物是我18岁生日时爸爸送我的一支钢笔。钢笔不贵,但他知道我喜欢写东西,还刻上了我的名字。这种用心的细节让它变得无比特别。

没有特别印象的回答
Not really, to be honest. I've received plenty of gifts over the years, but most of them were quite generic, like chocolates or gift cards. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the thought behind them, but none of them really left a deep impression on me.
说实话没有。这些年来我收到过不少礼物,但大多数都比较普通,比如巧克力或者礼品卡。别误会,我很感激送礼人的心意,但确实没有哪个礼物让我印象特别深刻。

Q3
What do you consider when choosing a gift?
The first thing I consider is the person's interests and hobbies. I think a good gift shows that you really know the person. Then I also think about practicality because I don't want to give something that will just sit on a shelf and collect dust. On top of that, I try to set a reasonable budget and stick to it.
我首先考虑的是对方的兴趣和爱好。我觉得一份好礼物能表明你真正了解这个人。然后我也会考虑实用性,因为我不想送一个只能在架子上吃灰的东西。此外,我会设定一个合理的预算并严格执行。

兴趣和爱好※ Practicality:
实用性※ Sit on a shelf and collect dust:
放在架子上落灰※ Set a reasonable budget:
设定一个合理的预算※ Stick to it:

Q4
Do you think you are good at choosing gifts?
✔
自认为擅长的回答
I'd like to think so, yes. I pay close attention to the little things my friends mention throughout the year, something they wish they had, or a small annoyance they want to solve. Then when a birthday or holiday comes around, I surprise them with something that shows I was listening. That always makes me feel confident about my gift-choosing skills.
我觉得我还挺擅长的。我会很留意朋友们平时提到的小细节,比如他们想要什么东西,或者想解决什么小麻烦。然后等到生日或节日时,我就会给他们惊喜,证明我一直在听他们说话。我对自己的选礼物能力还是很有信心的。

自认为不擅长的回答
Not really, to be honest. I often find myself standing in a store for ages, completely unsure of what to buy. I worry a lot about whether the person will actually like it, and sometimes I end up playing it too safe with something boring like a gift card. I really admire people who always seem to find the perfect gift.
说实话不太擅长。我经常在店里站很久也完全不知道买什么。我总是担心对方到底会不会喜欢,所以有时候最后就会太保守,比如送一张礼品卡。我真的很佩服那些总能找到完美礼物的人。
亮点词汇
※ Pay close attention to:
密切关注
※ Little things:
小细节,小事
※ Comes around:
来临,到来

最终……

最近,我收到了朋友送的一台很不错的咖啡机作为乔迁礼物。我刚刚搬进新公寓,她知道我喜欢喝咖啡就送了我这个。这真的改变了我的早晨,现在我在家就能冲一杯新鲜的咖啡,不用赶着去咖啡店了。
