【老友记】“我没拿回扣啊！”

【句子】Those steaks were just a gift from the meat vendor. That was not a kickback. 【Friends-S2E5】 【发音】[ðəʊz] [steɪks] [wɜ:(r)] [dʒʌst] [ə] [gɪft] [frɒm]/[frɑ:m] [ðə] [mi:t] ['vendə(r)] [ðæt] [wɒz]/[wɑ:z] [nɒt]/[nɑ:t] [ə] [ˈkɪk.bæk]【发音技巧】just a连读；gift from不完全失去爆破；meat vendor不完全失去爆破；not a连读+美音浊化；kickback完全失去爆破；【翻译】那些牛排只是牛排供应商给的一个礼物而已啊，那不是回扣！【适用场合】kickback 踢回去？an amount of money that is paid to someone illegally in exchange for secret help or work回扣的意思有人给你钱，为了让你给予一些特殊帮助、特殊照顾和bribe有点类似eg: The governor denied accepting any kickbacks from the insurance industry.这位州长矢口否认收受了保险公司的任何回扣。eg: He is accused of paying kickbacks to a district official to win contracts with the school system.他被指控，为了赢得教育系统的合同，而向地区官员给予回扣。所以我们说：英语中拿回扣、收受回扣，可以说accept a kickback那么掏钱给别人回扣呢？pay a kickback to sb.英语中还有一个表达有点点相似叫做pay sb. off掏钱让某个人闭嘴/花钱收买to give someone money so that they will not do or say something, or so that they will go awaypayoff连起来作名词，可以指这个收买的钱款。eg: There were rumors that key witnesses had been paid off to keep quiet.有传言称，关键证人都已经被收买了，不会出来作证。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】He got a contract to supply computers to the department in exchange for a kickback.
