get what you deserve

罪有应得

(zuìyǒuyīnɡdé)

A: Have you seen the news recently? That person who was leaving trash around the subway was caught by the police. I heard he was a repeat offender.

你最近看新闻了吗?在地铁上乱扔垃圾的那个人被警察抓了,据说还是个惯犯。

(nǐ zuìjìn kàn xīnwén le ma? zài dìtiě shànɡ luànrēnɡ lājī de nàɡè rén bèi jǐnɡchá zhuā le, jùshuō háishì ɡè ɡuànfàn.)

B: Subways are public spaces, he got what he deserved.

地铁可是公共场所,他这是罪有应得!

(dìtiě kěshì ɡōnɡɡònɡ chǎnɡsuǒ, tā zhèshì zuìyǒuyīnɡdé.)

A: I also really can't stand those people who have the sound turned up really loud when using their phones. Why don't they have a set of ear phones?

我最受不了的还是把手机声音开得特别大的,为什么不准备一副耳机呢?

(wǒ zuì shòubùliǎo de háishì bǎ shǒujī shēnɡyīn kāi dé tèbié dà de, wèishéme bù zhǔnbèi yīfù ěrjī ne?)

B: The newest phones have gotten rid of the earphone jack. I think they should have gotten rid of the speaker instead!

最新的手机都把耳机插孔取消了,我认为更应该把外放音响取消。

(zuìxīn de shǒujī dōubǎ ěrjī chākǒnɡ qǔxiāo le, wǒ rènwéi ɡènɡ yīnɡɡāi bǎ wàifànɡ yīnxiǎnɡ qǔxiāo.)
