Gift has a long history of use as a verb meaning .to present as a gift; endow.. The practice appears to provide a useful distinction,in as much as the verbgive can sometimes be ambiguous between .to transfer physical possession. and .to transfer ownership.; and in fact a verb analogous togift is found in a number of other languages (for example, Italianregalare, .to give as a gift,. from regalo, .gift, present.). Unfortunately the verbal use ofgift in Modern English is irredeemably tainted (as is its derivative giftable ) by its association with the language of advertising and publicity (as in Gift her with this copper warming plate ). In an earlier surveythe usage was rejected by a large majority of the Usage Panel.Where clarity is required, substitutessuch asgive as a gift, bestow, or donate are recommended. · The phrasefree gift should, of course, be considered redundant. But the increasing currency of its use is indicative mainly of the degree to which the wordgift itself has been expropriated by advertisers to refer to merchandise offerings to which an obligation is attached—if not a direct price, then taking a test drive,sitting through a sales pitch, or enrolling in a book club.It is perhaps to this use ofgift, rather than to the redundancy free gift, that critics ought most strenuously to object.
Gift 作動詞意為.贈送禮物，贈予.的用法已有很長的歷史了， 這種慣用法的出現(xiàn)提供了有用的區(qū)分，因為作為動詞give 可能有時會在.傳遞有形財產(chǎn).和.傳遞所有權(quán).之間有模棱兩可的意思； 但事實上類似于gift 的詞是在其它語言上建立起來的 （如意大利語的regalare .作為禮物給予.來自于 regalo .禮物，禮品.）。 不幸的是gift 在現(xiàn)代英語中動詞性質(zhì)的用法由于廣告語言和公眾語言的聯(lián)系而不可挽回地被污染了（如它的派生詞 giftable ）（又如在 給她這個銅暖盤作為禮物 ）。 在較早的一個調(diào)查中，這種用法被大部分的用法專題使用小組的成員所反對。為了在此處的用法更清晰的一些替代詞，如give as a gift, bestow 或 donate 被采納了。 詞組free gift 自然是應(yīng)該被認(rèn)為是多余的， 但是這種用法的迅速使用主要表示了gift 這個詞被廣告商所侵用而用來指提供商品優(yōu)惠是一種附加的義務(wù)——如果不是直接的價格， 那么就參加一次競賽活動，等待商品廣告宣傳或在一個讀書俱樂部中報名登記。也許gift 的這種用法應(yīng)該比冗余的 free gift 更為批評家所堅決反對
