**Present**

英文解释：A present is a thing that you give someone as a gift, especially on a special occasion.

中文释义：指在特殊场合或时间赠予他人的物品，常用于正式或非正式的送礼情况。

用法例句：

1. She gave him a present for his birthday. (她给他一份生日礼物。)

2. They exchanged presents at Christmas. (他们在圣诞节互换礼物。)

**Gift**

英文解释：A gift is something that you give to someone without them having to pay for it, especially on a special occasion.

中文释义：通常指无偿赠送的物品，尤其在特殊场合，强调的是赠送行为而非物品本身的价值。

用法例句：

1. He has a natural gift for music. (他有音乐天赋。) 

2. She received a beautiful gift from her friend. (她收到了朋友送的一份漂亮的礼物。)

总结：虽然 "present" 和 "gift" 在大部分情况下可以互换使用，但在某些语境中，"present" 更侧重于实际的礼物，而 "gift" 有时也用来指代某人的天赋或才能（如例句1）。在日常使用中，两者的区别并不严格，但了解这些细微差别可以帮助我们更准确地表达自己的意思。
