award与reward的区别

award, reward
两者的含义基本相同，但在不同语境中表达的含义有所差别。

award
指正式地或官方地颁发，授予，给予；也可以指法庭裁决给予。它指一种官方的奖励行为，往往鼓励在工作中达到成就或所提出的要求而进行一种奖励。强调荣誉而不在乎奖品的大小或奖金的多少。
award的“奖品”是因优点奖励或授予的东西，如：
The school principal awarded a prize in history to the best student.
学校校长将历史奖授予最出色的学生。
award 还可指XX奖
比如“金球奖”就是“Golden Globe Award”，不能说“Golden Globe Prize”

reward“报答，报偿，奖赏”，多指对某人的工作或服务等的报答。
如：
The fireman received a reward for saving the child's life.
因救了小孩的命，消防员提到一笔奖金。
award (give after careful consideration, esp. officially)
经仔细考虑后正式的“给予，授予（奖品等）”；作名词时表示“奖品，奖金”。
A medal was awarded to him for his good conduct.
他因品行优良被授予奖章。
He was awarded first prize.
他获得了一等奖。
They awarded scholarship to the best students.
他们把奖学金授予最好的学生。

reward(give as a return for sth. done)
因做某事给予“回报，酬劳，奖赏”；作名词表示“报酬，奖励，报答”。
They rewarded her for her help.
他们答谢他的帮助。
Anyone who finds it will be rewarded.
凡找到它的人都将获得酬谢。
He was given $800 as a reward for his bravery.
他因表现勇敢而得到800美元的赏金。

注意：在结构上，award后可接双宾语；award sb. sth(通常为奖金或奖状)。
reward后只接一个宾语，通常以人或人的行为为宾语，句型是reward sb. with sth.。

They awarded her the Nobel Prize.
他们授予他诺贝尔奖。
