雅思口语Part1答案：Gifts礼物

1. Do you often give gifts to people?
Well, I guess that gift giving is a pretty disturbing thing. Well, for one thing, it’s hard for me to find valuable gifts for my friends or family. I’ve no idea on their preference and taste and I’m so afraid of that they don’t feel happy when they receive my present.
我觉得送礼是⼀件挺烦⼈的事情的。

⾸先，对于我来讲为家⼈或朋友选择有价值的礼物并不容易，我对他们的个⼈喜好和品位⼀⽆所知，我很怕他们收到我的礼物后并不开⼼。

2. Do you and your friends or family members give each other gifts?
Well, yes, I often buy something unique form other countries to my friends and family members. It’s about my care and love. However, some people give expensive gifts in hopes of receiving an expensive one, which becomes a competition. It ruins the original purpose of sending gifts.
是的。

我经常给我的朋友和家⼈从各个国家买回特殊的礼物。

这是我对他们的关⼼和爱。

但有些⼈送贵重的礼物就是希望也能从别⼈那收到贵重的礼物，这变成了⼀种竞争。

这破坏了送礼的原本⽬的。

3. Do you think it’s easy to choose what to give other people?
No, it’s really a challenging task for me to select an excellent and much-appreciated gift, because people have different personality and people are fickle, just like my friends, you know, they change their taste easily and it’s really hard to find what they really want.
不容易。

对于我来说，选择⼀个让⼈喜欢的好礼物确实是个挑战，因为⼈们性格各不相同⽽且变幻莫测，⽐如我的朋友们，他们很容易变换品味，找到他们喜欢的东西挺难的。

4. Do you think it’s important to give expensive gifts?
No, it’s totally unnecessary. Gifts don’t mean material object all the time and can be something special, including forgiveness and kindness.
完全没必要。

礼物并不是⼀直意味着物质的东西，有时候是可以有⼀些特殊意义的，包括谅解或友善。

5. In China, is it necessary to bring a gift when you visit someone?
Well, I think it’s expected. It’s common etiquette to bring some gifts if someone invites you over for dinner, you know like, a box of chocolate, a bottle of wine or stuff like that. Well, on top of that, gifts are often wrapped in wrapping paper, especially red wrapping.
我觉得是应该的。

⽐如受邀到别⼈家⾥赴宴，给别⼈带⼀盒巧克⼒或⼀瓶酒这样的礼物是⼀般礼节。

⽽且，礼物⼀般都要⽤包装纸包好，尤其要⽤红⾊包装。
