英语英语英语,学点英语真开心。咔咔深信一句话,莫欺少年穷。

别看现在屁颠屁颠的小孩,你可以用拳头欺负他,可是没准哪一天,这个娃儿奋发图强,狂练格斗,变成了一代拳王。

20年后,一拳把你撂倒在地。以暴制暴可不好,不过不禁让我想起两句话, beat someone at their own game以及Revenge is a dish best served cold.

1. Beat someone at their own game.

“beat someone at their own game”啥意思呢?跟游戏有关系吗?

It means to defeat someone by using their own strengths, techniques, or tactics to one's own advantage.

利用对方的优势、技巧或战术来打败对方

,也就是“以其人之道,还治其人之身”。

我用你擅长的东西打倒你,不过咋特别像“打脸”小说的套路捏?看几个例子。

①-OMG! Did you just defeat that Maria who won the competition three years in a row?

- Yes, I finally beat her at her own game.

- 天哪!你刚刚是打败了那个连续三年赢得比赛的玛丽亚吗?

- 是的,我终于用她擅长的东西,打败了她!

②They tried to lure away our clients by offering big discounts, but we beat them at their own game.

他们试图通过提供大折扣来吸引我们的客户,但我们用同样的手段打败了他们。

2. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

中国有句老话“君子报仇十年不晚”,其实在英语中也有类似的表达,叫做Revenge is a dish best served cold。

直接看过来的意思是复仇就像一盘

菜,这盘菜最好是冷着上。其实是说,等待一段时间再去行动才是最好的选择。

如果你被欺负了,不要当下去报复,等待足够的时间,因为伤害你的人,会在时间变长之后而掉以轻心的。

看看英文对话:

①- Why did you do this? Why did you destroy my family? I thought we were best friends!

- Because you stole my boyfriend back in high school.

- But that was 10 years ago!

- Revenge is a dish best served cold.

- 你为什么这么做?你为什么要毁了我的家庭?我以为我们是最好的朋友!

- 因为你在高中偷了我男朋友

- 君子报仇十年不晚。
