prize award的区别是什么？

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

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：
