托福词汇之“Gift parasite“

在托福考试中,词汇量的多少对于英语考试的听力、写作、阅读等每个环节都有影响,因此今天小编为各位托福考生介绍一下“Gift parasite”这个词。

  Gift parasite refers to someone who doesn't contribute anything in preparing the gift but wants to add his/her name to a gift tag in order to claim partial credit for giving the gift. They are doing this either because they are broke or because they just do not want to spend that money.

  Gift parasite(礼物寄生族)指准备礼物的时候完全没有参与或付出,却在送礼物的时候想要在名卡上加上自己的名字,以表示这礼物也有自己的一份。他们这样做要不是因为实在没钱,要不就是他们压根不想在这礼物上花钱。

  For example:

  I'm totally broke so I had to be a gift parasite and sign on that present you're giving Grandma.

以上就是与Gift parasite相关的内容,希望对大家有帮助。
