They sweetened the pot by promising a big bonus.
他们增加了筹码奖金丰厚

  厨师料理菜肴,在炒锅中加入糖,会起到提鲜的作用,使味道更好:Sweeten the pot即来源于此,相当于“改善了条件,增加了赌注”之类的意思。
  例句:
  They’ve built so many new office buildings here that they have trouble renting out all the space. So some landlords sweeten the pot; they offer a company six months free rent if it signs a three-year lease.
  他们在这儿新盖了很多办公楼,现在都租不出去。所以,有的房产主就设法增加一些吸引人的条件。如果一个公司和他们签订一个三年的租房合同,他们就可以免交半年房租。
