Gift giving
互赠礼物

We all know the feeling: you receive the kind of gift that you wouldn’t choose for yourself in a million years. But you have to grin and bear it pretending that you love your new present.
我们都有这样一种感触:当收到一件自己绝不会选择的礼物时,你仍要微笑接受并装作很喜欢这份新礼物的样子。

To avoid inflicting this experience on others, many people give gift vouchers at Christmas.
为了避免他人遭遇这种尴尬,很多人都会选择赠送圣诞礼券。

They simply go to a big store that they know the gift recipient likes, and buy them a voucher for the store.
他们只需要去一家销售对方心仪礼物的大商场,然后买下那里的购物礼券。

With this the recipient can buy whatever they like and everyone is spared embarrassment.
这样一来,接收者能买任何他喜欢的物品,完全避免了尴尬。
