不妥吧？ 情人之间怎么能用reward呢？大人对小孩，上级对下级，集体对个人可以。

呵呵呵，道模君，你一定也很喜欢莫泊桑的《necklace》吧，呵呵呵

Necklace

The girl was one of those pretty and charming young creatures who sometimes are born, as if by a slip of fate, into a family of clerks. She had no dowry, no expectations, no way of being known, understood, loved, married by any rich and distinguished man; so she let herself be married to a little clerk of the Ministry of Public Instruction.

就时态来讲，可以两种翻法，各有侧重。老莫的《项链》汉语、英语的都读过。reciprocate可以用作接物动词。现在用现在时态翻个长句自娱自乐吧：
I pick the dewdrops from the locus leaves and the bird's chirp from the vernal branches to make a necklace to thank you for your rose.
