“Take it as a New Year's gift.”
这多不好啊 还是得 给钱的 到底 多少钱
“I can't. I need to pay you back. How much is it?”
“I cannot take this for free; tell me the price so I don't owe you anything.”
Accepting costly gifts creates an implicit debt of human obligation (Renqing); insisting on paying preserves independence and avoids social entanglement.
