| Get a taste of your own medicine. 中国人有句话：‘以其人之道，还治其人之身’，意思是别人怎样对待你，你用同样的方式对待他，让他自尝苦果，英文也有相同的谚语叫：Have a taste of your own medicine. (自己尝一下你自己的药)，另一个类似的说法：An eye for an eye/a tooth for a tooth (以眼还眼/以牙还牙) 。 对 话 Waiter: Well doctor, here's your bill. Thanks for eating here tonight. Doctor: What's this all about? You've charged me double. There must be some mistake. Waiter: That amount is right, there's no mistake. Doctor: Why are you overcharging me? Waiter: We thought you needed to get a taste of your own medicine. Tastes bad doesn't it? But we all feel a lot better for it. 服务员：医生先生，这是你的账单，谢谢惠顾。 医生：这是什么来的？你收我双倍，一定搞错了。 服务员：金额正确，没有错。 医生：为什么你多收我钱？ 服务员：我们认为你需要自尝苦果，是不是很难受呢？但我们觉得很好。 医生习惯敲病人竹杠，餐厅服务生见他光顾，也就加倍收费，说：We thought you needed to get a taste of your own medicine。 Give one a taste/dose of one's own medicine（给某人一尝/一剂他自己开的药）的成语，意思是‘以其人之道，还治其人之身’，例如：He seduced his friend's wife, totally unaware that he was getting a dose of his own medicine: his wife was going out with another man（他勾引了朋友的妻子，完全不知道剃人头者，人亦剃其头：他妻子正和另一个男人相好）。 说‘以其人之道，还治其人之身’的英文成语还有不少，其一是pay one back in one's own coin（以同样的钱币还给某人），例如：The bully beat up my son, so when I found him I took great pleasure in paying him back in his own coin（那个以大欺小的流氓殴打我儿子，我找到他，一定要痛痛快快地报仇）。 另一说法是repay in kind。In kind二字合用，可解作‘以同样方式’，例如：He once snubbed me, and I am determined to repay him in kind/pay him back in kind（他曾经待我轻慢，我决定以牙还牙）。Snub即‘冷落’或‘轻慢’。 此外还有tit for tat这个说法。Tit、tat二字，这里无可解释，总之以for字接连，就是说‘一报还一报’，例如：He often speaks ill of me, and I give him tit for tat（他经常说我坏话，我于是以牙还牙）。 |
