tit for tat是什么意思

tit for tat是什么意思

作为名词短语，意思是：回敬；以牙还牙；针锋相对；【a situation in which you do something to harm someone who has done something harmful to you】要注意，这个词组用于负面动作。相当于汉语“一报还一报”。举例来说吧：He hit me so I hit him back.--- it was tit for tat. 【用作名词】他打了我，所以我就还手打了他。——以牙还牙。She gave him back tit for tat in the debate. 【用作副词】她在辩论中以牙还牙，和他针锋相对。我们还可以用连字符将其连起来形成复合词：tit-for-tatstage a tit-for-tat struggle against... 【用作形容词】跟……做针锋相对的斗争。
