节日里的“以礼还礼”
圣诞节降至，许多人又要为买礼物而奔波了，除了准备给孩子和家人的礼物，还有各种回礼，真是伤透脑筋，这种人情交易的送礼英文表达就是tit-for-tat giving。
Tit-for-tat giving refers to giving a gift to someone who has bought you a gift. It is not a way to express love; instead, it is more similar to paying back money.
别人送给你一个礼物，你也买一个礼物送给那个人，这就是“以礼还礼”。这不是表达爱的一种方式，这种礼物交换更像是还钱。
Example:
We do tit-for-tat giving, and the end result is I buy you one, and you buy me one. We end up giving stuff that people will never use.
我们“以礼还礼”，结果就是我给你买一个，你也给我买一个。最终我们都送了别人永远都不会用的东西。
