朋友的生日到了卻發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的錢已經(jīng)花得所剩無(wú)幾,怎么辦呢?只好寄希望于其他打算送禮物的人愿不愿意讓你加個(gè)名字,讓你做個(gè)gift parasite ——“禮物寄生蟲(chóng)”啦。
Gift parasite is a person who adds their name to a gift tag in order to claim partial credit for giving the gift.
“禮物寄生蟲(chóng)”指的是把名字加在禮物標(biāo)簽上寫的送禮人名單里,以便能沾到一點(diǎn)功勞。
Example:
I'm totally broke so I had to be a gift parasite and sign on that present you're giving Grandma.
我徹底沒(méi)錢了,所以我只能做個(gè)“禮物寄生蟲(chóng)”,在你送給奶奶的禮物上加個(gè)名字。
