To give sb. a taste/dose of their own medicine
Definition: to do the same bad thing to someone that they have often done to you, in order to show how unpleasant it is.
“給某人一劑他自己的藥嘗嘗”，這句慣用語同我們的“以其人之道還治其人之身”異曲同工，意思是用某人對(duì)別人的手段對(duì)付他，也讓他嘗嘗其中不好的滋味。比如如果Jack對(duì)別人很粗魯，那么別人也同樣粗魯?shù)貙?duì)他，那就是give him a taste of his own medicine. 例句如Did you see those two people cutting in front of us in line just now? Let's cut in front of them and give them a taste of their own medicine! 雖然我們不鼓勵(lì)這種以其人之道還治其人之身的做法，但是學(xué)會(huì)了偶爾用用還是蠻過癮的，看這一例： I saw you pushing my brother yesterday…… maybe I should give you a taste of your own medicine! （或許我也應(yīng)該讓你嘗嘗挨揍的滋味?。?有時(shí)候，a taste of one's own medicine也可以單獨(dú)用：He's always interrupting people when they are talking; what he deserves is a taste of his own medicine!
Example dialog:
A: Look who's coming！
看誰來了！
B: At last she's coming! She's always turning up late for me so I thought I'd give her a taste of her own medicine and see how she likes it.
她可算來了！我邀請(qǐng)她時(shí)，她總遲到. 我老想著哪天我也得讓她嘗嘗她的客人遲到的味道，看看她喜不喜歡。
