hush money這個詞組經(jīng)常會被理解為是：以不泄露信息的條件，付給某人的錢！就類似于漢語中所說的“封口費，堵嘴錢”。
【例句】
Why not pay him some hush money？
為什么不付給他一筆封口費呢？
She would write her memoirs and include in them faithful records of her association with every noble Lord who failed to pay hush money to the tune of two hundred pounds.
她準備寫回憶錄，并且把她同每位貴族老爺?shù)年P系如實地寫在里面，假如該貴族老爺不肯付給她200英鎊的封嘴錢的話。
