Hello hello, 實戰英語，就看YY英語。
今天開始我轉發New York Times上的WORD OF THE DAY 。
2020年3月23日的每日一次是 quid pro quo [ˌkwɪd prəʊ ˈkwəʊ]
這個單詞來源於拉丁語，意思是 something for something ，in which one transfer is contingent upon the other; "a favor for a favor" ；that which a party receives (or is promised) in return for something done, given or promised。
例句：
But the Bolton revelation will test Trump’s lawyers’ plan to defend him by arguing there was no quid pro quo.
“This is a quid pro quo — silence in exchange for money,” Samuel Schultz, the fifth vice president of the union, the American Guild of Musical Artists, wrote in his resignation letter.
An officer of the union representing American opera performers resigned on Monday, citing concerns that the union had kept details of its sexual harassment investigation of the opera star Plácido Domingo confidential as part of negotiations for a $500,000 settlement from him.
"What is the quid pro quo for my entering into this deal?"
根據具體語境，quid pro quo 可以理解為“回報 ”， “內幕交易” ，“灰色交易” ，“作為交換” ，“互惠互利”等。
