People remember special gifts or presents that they have received. Why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I think we remember special gifts we've received because these gifts often are part of a special memory for us. It may be a memory of someone special we've cared deeply about. He or she may no longer be alive. Or it may be a memory of a special event in our lives. It may even be a memory of the person we once were at some particular moment in our lives.
我想我们记得我们收到的特殊礼物，因为这些礼物往往是我们特殊记忆的一部分。这也许是我们对某个特别的人的记忆。他或她可能已经不在人世了。或者它可能是我们生活中一个特殊事件的记忆。它甚至可能是我们曾经在生活中某个特定时刻的记忆。
Gifts from other people can make us feel joy every time we look at them. A gift from our parents, or our husband or wife makes us feel loved each time we see or use it. If we have children, the first gift our child made for us in kindergarten is cherished long after the child has grown up. A family heirloom given to us by a grandparent makes us feel connected to our past. A gift from a good friend is a reminder of all the good times we've shared. A memento from a respected colleague of a reminder of a job we worked on successfully together.
别人的礼物可以让我们每次看到他们时都感到快乐。父母或丈夫或妻子给我们的礼物，让我们每次看到或使用它时都感到被爱。如果我们有孩子，孩子在幼儿园给我们做的第一件礼物是在孩子长大后很长一段时间里珍惜的。祖父母给我们的传家宝让我们觉得和过去有联系。一个好朋友送的礼物是我们分享的所有美好时光的提醒。来自一位受人尊敬的同事的纪念品，它提醒我们一起成功地完成了一项工作。
Gift may also pinpoint special events in our lives. Gifts given to us as part of our religious heritage, such as First Communion or Chanukkah gifts, remind us of those celebrations. The same is true for gifts given for birthdays and graduations, and for the anniversaries of special days in our lives, like our wedding day.
Gift还可能指出我们生活中的特殊事件。作为我们宗教遗产的一部分送给我们的礼物，例如第一次圣餐或光明节礼物，提醒我们这些庆祝活动。生日和毕业典礼的礼物，以及我们生活中特殊日子的周年纪念日，比如我们的婚礼，也是如此。
Gifts can also be a symbol of the person we were at a particular point in our lives. A gift received in childhood may remind us of a passionate hobby that's now boxed in the attic. A gift received when we left a job may bring to mind the first career we bad, now that we're on our third or fourth.
礼物也可以是我们生活中某个特定时刻的人的象征。小时候收到的礼物可能会让我们想起一种激情四射的爱好，现在它被装在阁楼里。当我们离开工作时收到的礼物可能会让我们想起我们的第一份糟糕的工作，现在我们已经是第三或第四份了。
The gifts that are important to us are the ones that remind us of family, friends and happy times. They're a way of surrounding ourselves with our past.
对我们来说重要的礼物是那些能让我们想起家人、朋友和快乐时光的礼物。它们是一种把我们自己和过去联系在一起的方式
