给予和寄予的差别
Hi, I've checked the meanings of 寄予 and 给予 in 3-4 dictionaries and all of them say these 2 words mean "to give" or “to show (respect)”. On top of that in one of my books the defnition of the word "寄予" was simply "给予“ 哈哈. However some Chinese people have told me they are completely different so I'm really confused. Could you please elaborate on these 2 verbs (in English) and provide a couple of examples along with their translation? 谢谢

Question

Answer

寄予是精神上的，
给予是物质上的。都是to give。只有属性不一样而已。

Answer

这是两个完全不同的词，你不应该感到迷惑，而应该具备怀疑词典的精神，词典也会出错，而词典也会相互抄袭，一本错了，其余也跟着错。

总之，汉语词汇译成英语经常会出现这种情况，在母语者看来是不同的两个词，译成英语却成了相同的词。

解决办法只有一个，尽快使用汉语词典，而汉英词典只能作为参考。

Answer

給予 is simply just meaning "give"
寄予 is usually used the phrase 寄予厚望, pin hopes on someone/something.

Answer

给予 means to give. the object can be sth or material or abstract. For example"谢谢你给予我的帮助" 
寄予 means place sth on. the object should always be hope or prospect.
