Gifts

I think the whole idea of gifts is very interesting and it seems to me to quite important in Chinese culture. Some people find it very difficult to accept a gift. Saying things like “ You should not have bought me a gift “ “ I have done nothing to  deserve this gift” . We see receiving a gift as putting us under an obligation to the giver. Having received an unwanted gift I find it difficult to throw it away even though I don’t like it!

礼物

我觉得礼物代表的意思是非常有趣的,在中国文化里看起来又对我很重要。有些人认为接受一个礼物是很难的,说这样的话“你不用买礼物给我” “你的礼物让我受宠若惊”,我们觉得收到一个礼物是送礼者对我们的恩惠,我发现收到一件不想要的礼物想丢掉它是很难的事,即使我不喜欢它。
