prize

Compared meaning: something given for achievement or winning (noun).

比较义项：奖品（名词）。

• award

  Award refers to formal recognition given by judges or an organization for merit or achievement, often at a ceremony, and typically pairs with verbs like 'present' or 'receive' rather than 'win'.

  award（奖）指由评委或机构为表彰功绩或成就而正式授予的荣誉，常见于颁奖典礼场合，通常与“颁发”“获得”等动词搭配，而不常与“赢得”搭配。

  The actress was presented with an award for her outstanding performance.

  这位女演员因表演出色而被授予了一个奖项。

• prize 本词

  Prize refers to money, a trophy, or goods won by beating others in a contest, competition, or lottery, and is the natural object of the verb 'win'.

  prize（奖品）指通过在比赛、竞赛或抽奖中击败对手而赢得的金钱、奖杯或实物，通常作动词“赢得”的宾语。

  She bought a raffle ticket and won a valuable prize.

  她买了一张抽奖券，赢得了一份贵重的奖品。

Award and prize both mean something given for doing well. Award is more formal: recognition for merit, often given at a ceremony rather than won. Prize is money, a trophy, or goods won in a contest or lottery. Verb uses are not compared here.

award 和 prize 在“奖品”这一意义上词义相近，学习者容易混淆，但语气和使用场合略有不同：award 更正式，强调因成就或表现优异而被正式授予的荣誉；prize 更强调在比赛、竞赛或抽奖中取胜所赢得的实物或金钱奖励。此外，award 还可作动词表示“颁发”，prize 也可作动词表示“珍视”，这里均不涉及。
