“被授与者”常见的英文表达是 “recipient” ,它侧重于指接受某物(如奖项、礼物、荣誉、捐赠等)的人或组织。例如:
The recipient of this year's Nobel Prize in Literature is a well-known writer.(今年诺贝尔文学奖的被授与者/获得者是一位知名作家。)
The charity foundation selected several poor families as the recipients of their donations.(这家慈善基金会挑选了几个贫困家庭作为捐赠的被授与者/受助对象。)
另外,“grantee” 也有类似含义,不过使用频率相对低一些,它更强调是获得某种特许、拨款、赠与等的人或机构。例如:The grantee of this research grant is expected to present the findings within a year.(这笔研究拨款的被授与者/受助人预计要在一年内提交研究成果。)
