What is happening when we give gifts?Most important,we are exchanging gifts.If someone gives me a gift for my birthday,I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday.A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation(义务).

Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones.People say that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them,and that we want to make the person “feel special.”We want people to feel wanted,to feel part of our social or family group.We give presents to say “I’m sorry.”Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like.Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with.In all these cases,the gifts are sending out messages—often very expressive ones.
64.________
People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way.A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house.These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:“I appreciate these,and they mean something to me,” the woman said,“because I remember the occasions they were given on,and that they were from my mother,and the relationship we’ve had.” The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind.This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others.She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her.
65.________
Emotions (情感) like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving.They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful.Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case.Each gift is unique even if so many are given.The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.

在现代工业化的社会交往中,有很多可以赠送礼品的场合,如：生日,命名仪式,婚礼,周年庆祝,新年,等等.在西方文化中,在这些场合赠送礼物是非常平常的事情.另外,在一些特殊的场合,例如一个人第一天上学或者从大学毕业了,在这样的日子送礼物也是需要的.
当我们赠送礼品的时候会发生什么呢?最重要的是,我们是在交换礼物.如果一个人在我生日的时候赠送了我礼物,那么我知道他一定也希望我在他生日的时候可以送他礼物.一个礼物可以建立或者加固一段社会交情.
礼物可以将人和人之间的关系变得更加紧密,同时这也为相爱的人提供了一种交流的方式.人们常说,一个礼物可以让收到的人觉得送礼物的人是关心他的,这会让收到礼物的人觉得自己是特别的.我们希望人们觉得自己是被需要的,是社会和家庭里面重要的组成部分.我们也可以用礼物来表达歉意.有时候发现一件收礼的人喜欢的礼物对我们来说是很难的.有时候我们送的礼物会是我们喜欢的,或者说我们觉得很舒服的,所有的这些都告诉我们,送礼物是在送出一些信息¬——一般情况下,这都是一些意味深长的信息.
人们倾向于用一种适当的喜爱的方式去讨论礼物.有一个女人,她的母亲几年前去世了,她是这样去描述她房子里的那些礼物的.那些礼物是她妈妈很多年前给她的“我很感激这些礼物,这些礼物对我来说意味着很多.”这个女人说,“因为我记得这些礼物送给我时的那些场合,送给我的人是我的母亲,母女是我们之前的联系.”这些礼物的存在会使她们之前的联系不会因为母亲的去世而断开.这个女人也是用这样的心理去赠送其他人礼物,她希望收到礼物的人在看到她的礼物时会想起她怀念她.
这些情感都说明礼物的背后都有一些正面的乐观的精神,这也证明了人类学家Claude Levi-Strauss对于现代西方赠送礼物是高度浪费的这一观点是错误的.加拿大和一些其他地方的研究证明这样的说法是不成立的.就算送的礼物再多.每个礼物也都是独一无二的.情感上的获益是交换礼物这一传统继续下去的最大的一个理由.
