take credit for 付出的努力得到认可，因某事得到认可

这次接受(take)的是对于某次功勋(credit)的认可。虽然有些难以理解，但在日常生活中经常会使用到，也可以用 have，get 替代 take。相反，如果是 give credit for 的话就是”承认他人的功劳”的意思。

例句：

I can't take credit for this. We both know that this wasn't me.

我可不能独吞功劳。我们俩都知道不应该是我。

You took credit for my work, Peter!

彼得！你抢占了我的功劳！

I am sorry I took credit for your work.

很抱歉，我抢占了你的功劳。

对话：

A: Allison took credit for buying the gift.

埃里森抢占了买礼物的功劳。

B: She should, because she paid for it.

没什么问题啊，本来就是她掏的钱。
