释义 recipient
      Fowler 1926 scornfully cites several instances of inflated journalistic prose in which someone is said to have been "the recipient of a presentation" or "the recipient of congratulations." Such self-conscious formality is perhaps less popular among journalists than it once was; we, at least, have collected no further evidence of recipient used in such a stiffly unnatural way. Its most familiar use in current English is to denote a person to whom something desirable, such as an award or a diploma, has been formally presented:
      ... is also the recipient of two honorary degrees — Current Biography, January 1967
      ... would an Englishman rather be the recipient of the Victoria Cross or ... —Herbert R. Mayes, Saturday Rev., 4 Dec. 1971
      The formality of the word is appropriate in these contexts.
