福特或蓋茲等基金會曾大力推廣其受助對象，這些受助對象與重量級人物的聯繫提升了其知名度。如今，在唐納德·川普領導下的美國，這卻成了負擔。

A grantee is the person or organization that receives a grant, which can be money, property, or a legal right from another party, the grantor. In the context of property, the grantee is the buyer who receives title and ownership from the grantor. In philanthropy, the grantee is a recipient of funds from a foundation to carry out a project or initiative.  

Key Aspects

• Recipient: The core of the term is receiving something of value or a legal interest. 
• Grantor vs. Grantee: The grantee is contrasted with the grantor, the party who gives or transfers something to the grantee. 
• Types of Grants: The term applies to various forms of grants, including:
  • Property/Real Estate: The individual who receives title to land or property from a grantor. 
  • Financial/Philanthropic: An organization or individual that receives funding from a grant-making entity to support projects. 
  • Legal Rights: A person or entity to whom a legal right or interest is transferred. 

Examples

• "The deed specified that the house was being transferred to the grantee." 
• "The foundation's annual report listed all the grantees who received funding that year." 
• "In real estate, the grantee is the new owner who receives the property from the seller, or grantor."

每日一詞：When they go low…...當別人往（道德的）低處走……

“當別人往道德的低處走時，我們要繼續向高處前行( When they go low, we go high)。”2016年，米歇爾·奧巴馬為希拉里助選時的這句名言曾廣為流傳。

特朗普當選後，很多希拉里的支持者對現實感到悲觀。在網絡上，有人借用米歇爾的這個句式自嘲：“ Ｗhen they go low, we go lower ”（當他們往低處走，我們往更低處走），以及“ When they go low, we go die ”（當他們往低處走，我們就去死）。

中期選舉將至，這句話又被修改成了新的政治口號。只是這一次，民主黨陣營似乎更為憤怒，也更加強勢。奧巴馬政府的司法部長埃里克·霍爾德(Eric Holder)說，“When they go low, we kick them.”（他們往低處走，我們就踢他們。）“黑人選民很重要”(Black Voters Matter)的組織者拉托沙·布朗(LaTosha Brown)則表示：“ When they go low, we got to go hard. ”（當他們往低處走，我們必須更強硬。）

在時報本週發表的《 揮拳還是握手，奧巴馬陣營該如何與特朗普“鬥”？ 》一文中，作者提到，許多民主黨的支持者認為，他們應該比以往更猛烈地回擊特朗普。很多人開始質疑，奧巴馬式的理想主義，在如今惡劣的政治氣候中是否還佔有一席之地？

當他們往低處走，我們究竟該向何處去？
