Picture a person or body in authority formally handing something over to someone because a decision has judged they deserve it — a prize for doing well, or a sum of money decided by a court. The shared core is this official 'after a judgement, we grant you this' moment.

可以想成一個有權力的人或機構，經過一番評斷之後，正式把某樣東西交給你，因為判定你「值得拿到它」——可能是因為表現出色…更多收起可以想成一個有權力的人或機構，經過一番評斷之後，正式把某樣東西交給你，因為判定你「值得拿到它」——可能是因為表現出色而給的獎，也可能是法院判定該給你的一筆錢。award 的核心畫面比較像這個「經過正式評斷後，把東西判給、頒給你」的動作，名詞是被給出的那樣東西，動詞是給出去的那個動作。

Two branches

因表現優異而頒的獎

核心「正式判給」用在「做得好」這一面：評審決定你表現最佳，於是把獎頒給你。

prize · noun · B2

A prize or money given to someone for doing something very well.

獎 / 獎項

官方判定給予的款項

同樣是核心的「正式判給」，但這一面不是因為優秀，而是經過法院或機構的正式裁決後，決定該給你一筆錢或一份協議。

grant legally (court) · verb · B2

To decide officially, often in court, that someone should be given money or a contract.

判給 / 授予
