标题: 辨析award 与 reward
  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”,它的意思与 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.
  奥林匹克的优胜者获得一枚金质奖章作为奖赏。
  He won the second award of $ 2,000.
  他获得二等奖,奖金二千元。
  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 expectsubstantialrewards.
  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”。例:
  He was awarded the first prize for OutstandingIndustrialDesign.
  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。
  而 reward 则表示“报答”、“酬谢”之意。例:
  You should reward them according to theirdeserts.
  你应该对他们论功行赏。
  Is that how you reward me for my help?
  你就是这样来报答我给你的帮助吗?
  此外 reward 还可用于比喻意。例:
  I would feelamplyrewarded if my book - A Study of English Twins - could be of some help to the readers.
  如果我的书《英语学生词语之研究》对读者有所帮助的话,我就感到心满意足了。
