Treat ... to

    款待

    香港运钞车在湾仔告士打道掉钱，给部分路人提前送圣诞礼物了。香港警方通报截止周四已经有人交回480万港元。请看本报周五的报道：

    Hong Kong police said Thursday they have recovered some HK$4.8 million (US$615,000) out of the HK$15 million that went missing after a money transport van with a faulty rear door spilled large bundles of cash over a busy road on Christmas Eve.

    Some motorists and passers-by treated themselves to an early Christmas around lunchtime Wednesday, dashing onto Gloucester Road to pick up large stacks of banknotes before armed policemen were able to stave them off and restore order.

    报道中的treat ... to就是“招待、款待”。例如：

    The mother treated her daughter to an icecream.

    妈妈给女儿吃一个冰激凌。
