throw someone a bone 給某人東西，但并不合乎他的期望
eg. The company gave another man the promotion Bill expected. But they threw him a bone—they sent him out to head a branch office way off in Iowa. And that's a dead-end job nobody wanted.
這家公司把Bill所向往的升遷機會給了別人，然而他們還是給了Bill一點恩賜，但是這并不合乎Bill的期望，他們派Bill去主持遠在依阿華州的分部辦公室。這是無人問津、一無發展前途的職位。
