地道口語：“自食苦果”英語怎么說

(資料圖片)

Larry準備參加馬拉松比賽，李華在幫他進行賽前訓練。他們會用到兩個常用語：on the dot和get a taste of one"s own medicine。

LH: Larry，加油，就剩500米了!沖刺沖刺!

Larry: (Out of breath) How...did...I do?

LH: 成績不錯，但還是沒進15分鐘。

Larry: (Still a bit out of breath) Let me see that watch...Hey, this isn"t above 15 minutes...this is 15 minutes on the dot!

LH: Dot? 點點?這個秒表是新的，上面什么都沒有啊!

Larry: No, no. The watch is fine. I"m talking about the time. Look...it says 15:00. Exactly fifteen minutes...Fifteen minutes on the dot。

LH: 哦，on the dot就是“正好”的意思。你是說，你剛才的成績是正好15分鐘。可是Larry，我的意思是，你還是沒有沖破15分這個關口。這樣你下個月參加比賽時，名次是不會理想的!

Larry: I know, I know... wait a minute. Next month? I thought I had way more time to prepare than that!

LH: 啊?你忘啦?距離比賽還有整整一個月，30 days on the dot!

Larry: Well, at least I"m making progress...fifteen minutes is my best time so far. I think I"m done running for today。

LH: 好吧，那今天就練到這兒吧。天兒也夠熱的，今天是35 degrees on the dot，35度呢!

Larry: Well, when you"re running, it feels more like 40 degrees on the dot!

LH: 不過回家前，你還得做30個仰臥起坐。

Larry: You sure are a strict coach...how do you know so much about training?

LH: (得意地)我高中是田徑隊的，教練特嚴格，我都是跟他學的!嚴師出高徒嘛!

Larry: Oh really?? (pauses for a moment as if hatching a plan) You know, Li Hua, there"s a couple"s race as well on race day. I think you and I should be a team!

LH: 雙人跑?我也參加?那可不行，我整整10年沒跑步了!10 years on the dot!

Larry: Hey, you"ve been making me run all over this track for the past week; I think it"s only fair that you got to taste of your own medicine。

LH: 什么，taste of my own medicine? 我的藥的味道?

Larry: Actually, you"ve been working me so hard, but now it"s time for you to go through the same ordeal that you had put me through. In other words, you"re getting a taste of your own medicine。

LH: 我明白了，get a taste of my own medicine就是自食苦果。你是說，這幾天我逼你練得那么辛苦，現在你也要讓我嘗嘗同樣的滋味。

Larry: Right! Let"s start early tomorrow...be here at 7 am on the dot. I can"t wait to give you a taste of your own medicine!
