Money or goods given for free
Money, food, or other things that are given free to people or groups who need help, usually by the government or a charity.
用法模式：
[someone] gets a handout from [someone/somewhere]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes think "handout" only means free printed paper from a teacher. In news and politics, "handout" more often means money or goods given free, especially by the government or charities. Also, do not confuse the noun "a handout" with the phrasal verb "to hand out" (two words), which means to give things to many people.

Printed sheet given to audience
A piece of paper with printed information that a teacher or speaker gives to people in a class or meeting.
用法模式：
[someone] gives out handouts to [a group]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes think this meaning of "handout" is the same as the money or food given to poor people. In a school or office context, a "handout" almost always means a printed paper. Also, some learners incorrectly use "handout" as a verb (e.g., *"She will handout the papers"*); the correct verb is the phrasal verb "hand out" (two words): "She will hand out the papers."
近义词
