How it's used
Unlike the more neutral term 特別對待, 殊遇 often carries a slightly formal or literary nuance, sometimes implying an undeserved or surprisingly favorable status. It is frequently used in contexts where someone is being singled out for preferential treatment, whether positive or negative in outcome.
Examples
He received special treatment at the company.
Related words
Common phrases
to receive special treatment
to enjoy special treatment
Common mistake
Learners often mistake this for a common everyday verb, but it is actually a noun. You cannot use it as a verb like 'to treat someone specially'; you must use it with a verb like 得到 or 享受.
