Ingliz tilida "reward" va "prize" so'zlari ko'pincha bir-biriga yaqin ma'noda ishlatiladi, lekin ular orasida muhim farqlar bor. "Reward" so'zi odatda yaxshi ish yoki harakat uchun beriladigan mukofotni bildiradi. Bu mukofot pul, sovrin yoki boshqa biror narsa bo'lishi mumkin, lekin asosan harakatga rag'bat sifatida beriladi. "Prize", esa, odatda musobaqa, tanlov yoki o'yinda g'olib chiqqan kishiga beriladigan mukofotdir. Ya'ni, "prize" so'zi raqobat yoki musobaqaga bog'liq.

Misol uchun:

• Reward: She received a reward for her honesty. (U halolligi uchun mukofot oldi.)
• Reward: He was rewarded with a promotion for his hard work. (U qattiq mehnati uchun lavozim o'sishi bilan mukofotlandi.)
• Prize: He won a first prize in the science competition. (U fan olimpiadasida birinchi o'rinni egalladi.)
• Prize: The prize for the best essay was a trip to London. (Eng yaxshi inshoning mukofoti London safariga chiptalar edi.)

Ko'rib turganingizdek, "reward" so'zi har qanday yaxshi ish uchun ishlatilishi mumkin, "prize" esa musobaqa yoki tanlov natijalariga bog'liq. Ba'zi hollarda ularning ma'nolari yaqin bo'lishi mumkin, lekin kontekstga qarab aniq farq qilish mumkin.
