(an) eye for (an) eye 以眼还眼
又作:(an) eye for (an) eye and (a) tooth for (a) tooth 以眼还眼, 以牙还牙; 报复
源出《圣经*申命记》第十九章第二十一节:“你眼不可顾惜,要以命偿命,以眼还眼,以牙还牙,以手还手,以脚还脚。” (And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.)
例: I did not believe in the death penalty -- an eye for an eye -- but how else cannot stop this sort of thing? 我不赞成死刑 -- 以眼还眼的办法 -- 但我们能用什么别的办法来阻止这类事情发生呢?
