买一份你认为某人会喜欢的礼物通常会让收礼物的人感到失望。

Buying a present that you think someone will like often leads to disappointment for the receiver.

研究发现，挑选一份体现送礼人“真实自我”的礼物更有可能会让收礼物的人开心。

It found that choosing a present which embodies the 'true self' of the giver is more likely to be in tune with the gift receiver's enjoyment of the present.

有些人喜欢买礼物也喜欢收礼物，而有些人则不喜欢在恶劣的天气里流连于燥热而拥挤的商场。

Some people love buying presents as much as receiving them. Others don't enjoy going out in bad weather to wander around overheated, overcrowded shops.

女孩子都喜欢收礼物，这说明有人关心她、宠爱她。

Girls like to receive presents because this shows they are cared about and loved.

是为了给收礼物的人庆祝，不论是他们过生日、毕业还是就想送。

It's about celebrating the other person who's receiving the gift; whether it's on their birthday, graduation or just because.

在接下来的几年里，每到节日里收礼物的场面时，我都哭闹着说“人家就是想要条狗嘛！”

I guilted them about it for a few years, sobbing on holidays when I said “the only thing I want is a dog” and refused presents.
