今天节目中，我们来复习一下这个“君子报仇，十年不晚”的英文说法。

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

这个句子的字面意思是：“复仇是一道最好冷了再上的菜。/复仇是一道菜，凉了才最好吃”。

其实就是说，“当过错方已经遗忘了那件事的时候，你出其不意的复仇，是让你感到最爽、最痛快的”。

It is very satisfying to get revenge a long time after the event for which you want revenge.

有些资料说这个句子来源于1846年对于一部法国小说《马蒂尔德的回忆录》的翻译中，后来就在很多作品中被大家广泛使用了，比如说电影《教父》《星际迷航2》等等中都有出现。

The proverb suggests that revenge is best taken when it is carefully planned and executed, rather than in the heat of the moment.

eg: I don't mind waiting to get revenge on Greg; I'll wait ten years if I have to. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

我不介意在报复格雷格这件事情上多等等，就算等十年也可以。君子报仇十年不晚。

eg: Instead of acting impulsively, he chose to take the high road and wait for the right moment to seek revenge, understanding that revenge is a dish best served cold.

他选择光明磊落等待着合适的时机来寻求复仇，而不是冲动行动，因为他明白，君子报仇十年不晚。
