2007.07.16 : I'll get even with you for this sooner or later.
这件事我迟早要跟你算账的。
形容词even在这个句子中的意思是“在程度、范围或数量上平等或同一”(Equal or identical in degree, extent, or amount)。用俗话那句“找补回来”理解正好。
再如:
Jerry once played a mean trick on John, and now John wants to get even with him.
杰里曾对约翰耍了一个卑鄙的诡计,现在约翰要讨回来。
海纳百川,有容乃大;壁立千仞,无欲则刚。
