quid pro quo是一個短語,意思是補償物、相等物、交換條件、讓步條件,我們先來看到quid pro quo這幾個單詞的讀音,這幾個單詞的讀音是怎樣的呢?這幾個單詞都是一個音節(jié),第一個單詞的發(fā)音為【kwid】,第二個單詞的發(fā)音為【pr?u】,第三個單詞的發(fā)音為【kw?u】,合在一起的話這個單詞的發(fā)音就是【'kwidpr?u'kw?u】,我們再看一下用法,quid pro quo作為補償物、相等物,交換條件、讓步條件的意思來使用,相當(dāng)于compensator 或terms of exchange;
例如在下面這兩個句子里,After all, you care about the individual,if you expected a quid pro quo,you didn't have much of a friendship to begin with,畢竟,你關(guān)心那個人,如果你期望報償,你的友誼就開始不那么純粹了,If the search market were competitive,then normal commercial negotiations would establish,some sort of quid pro quo for the exchange,如果搜索市場是一個競爭性市場,那么,常規(guī)的商業(yè)談判將會確立某種形式的交換補償,在這兩個句子中,quid pro quo指的是相等物、交換條件,quid pro quo這個單詞你學(xué)會了嗎?
