A subscription is money you pay every week, month, or year for a service. A donation is money you give out of kindness. For example " I pay $8 every month for my Netflix subscription." "She gave a $10 dollar donation to the homeless shelter." Hope this helps!

妹子,我来试答一下吧。 有些英语的同义词、近义词从英汉词典和英语的汉译看起来似乎是相同的或者很相似,它们的区别是什么,学习者往往很头痛,但是在英语者的概念里它们却并不是同义词,或者意思、用法差别很明显。英语者学汉语也有同样的问题。 subscription和donation都可以作可数和不可数动词用,分别指捐助、捐款的行为和一次捐出的钱或物(subscription多指行为,不可数)。 都是作捐款、捐助讲的时候,有什么不同呢? donation就是一般的捐助、捐款。 subscription准确地讲应该翻译为“认捐”,有两种情况。 一种是临时的,例如有人发动捐助,让社区中的人捐款来修建一座桥,找到你的时候你答应或者主动提出捐款五万元或五千元,这都是认捐。 • The church’s 120-foot Gothic spire was paid for by public subscription in 1939. 这座教堂 120 英尺高的哥特式尖塔是 1939 年由公众捐资建成的。 一种是定期地给予某慈善机构或其他组织一定的资助. • Our subscription to the charity fund is ten dollars. 我们认捐了十块钱的慈善资金。【请注意,用了is,不是was. 说明这种捐助不是一次性的而是重复的、定期的,所以也可以译为:我们答应定期捐助十美元。】 • There have been generous donations from EU funds. 欧盟基金给予了慷慨的捐款。 • the donation of a quarter of a million pounds 25万英镑的捐助
