如何用英语表达“以其人之道，还治其人之身”？
<p> 如今互联网这么发达，什么东西只要一放到网上，就会一发不可收拾。如果你突然发现，朋友没有经过允许，就把你的一张很丑陋的照片放到了网上，你会怎么做?我的朋友<span word="Jennifer">Jennifer</span>就被同事这么捉弄过一回。她也不示弱，立即找出一张同事更丢人的旧照片，发给了更多的人。这种做法在英语里叫：<span word="Beat">Beat</span> <span word="someone">someone</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="game">game</span>.</p><p> <span word="beat">beat</span>在中文里是打击的意思，<span word="game">game</span>是比赛，游戏。<span word="beat">beat</span> <span word="someone">someone</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="game">game</span>，就是以其人之道，还治其人之身的意思。我的朋友<span word="Jennifer">Jennifer</span>如法炮制，把同事一些见不得人的照片放到网上，让更多的人都看到，就可以说是<span word="She">She</span> <span word="beat">beat</span>?<span word="her">her</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="game">game</span>.</p><p> 如果说这是一场搞笑的恶作剧的话，那么在下面这个例子里两家餐馆之间的血拼大降价，就没有这么好笑了。让我们听听看。</p><p> "<span word="The">The</span> <span word="restaurant">restaurant</span> <span word="across">across</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="street">street</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="ours">ours</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="running">running</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="special">special</span>. <span word="Guests">Guests</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="ordered">ordered</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="dinner">dinner</span> <span word="entr">entr</span>&<span word="eacute">eacute</span>;<span word="e">e</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="receive">receive</span> <span word="another">another</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="half">half</span> <span word="price">price</span>. <span word="So">So</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="introduced">introduced</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="even">even</span> <span word="better">better</span> <span word="deal">deal</span>: <span word="buy">buy</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="entr">entr</span>&<span word="eacute">eacute</span>;<span word="e">e</span>, <span word="get">get</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="free">free</span>. <span word="Now">Now</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="place">place</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="packed">packed</span>. <span word="We">We</span>'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="BEATING">BEATING</span> <span word="THE">THE</span> <span word="COMPETITION">COMPETITION</span> <span word="AT">AT</span> <span word="THEIR">THEIR</span> <span word="OWN">OWN</span> <span word="GAME">GAME</span>."</p><p> 其中一位老板说：&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;街对面的餐馆推出特价活动，点一道主菜，第二道菜半价。我们以其人之道，还治其人之身， 决定买一送一，结果现在我们餐馆里的生意特别红火。我们在这次较量中战胜了对手。</p>
