throw someone a bone 给某人东西，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.
这家公司把Bill所向往的升迁机会给了别人，然而他们还是给了Bill一点恩赐，但是这并不合乎Bill的期望，他们派Bill去主持远在依阿华州的分部办公室。这是无人问津、一无发展前途的职位。
