give and take从字面意思看有给予也有得到，那give and take是不是就是“给和拿”呢？当然不是，这个短语的意思是指“平等交换，有商有量，互相迁就，互谅互让”，多用在商务用语中。

【例句】
We had to learn how to give and take, otherwise I think it might have been a very disastrous situation after four years.
我们必须互谅互让，不然，我看4年后情况就会相当糟糕。

Like any negotiations, there was give and take on both sides.
如同其他任何谈判一样，需要双方相互让步。
