正如西方諺語所說：Fire is a good servant but a bad master.
火在人們的掌控之下時是人類股掌之上的可愛精靈：篝火給人溫暖，煙花處處討人歡心。可是一旦它的力量過大，就凌駕于人類之上，再不受人的掌握。權(quán)力亦是如此，當它逐漸膨脹不可收拾時，就成為一個暴戾的君王，統(tǒng)治人們的言行。所謂“玩火者必自焚”，鋌而走險的盲目舉動會招致無窮禍患。
例如：
The abuse of power has sent many people into jail， which shows that playing with fire could get you burnt.
Revenge is a dish that could be eaten cold.
很形象的一句諺語。所有的菜肴都必須趁熱吃，唯獨revenge是個例外。“君子報仇，十年未晚。”
例如：
He has done serious wrong to his friends. You just wait and see. They will not let him go scot-free. Revenge is a dish that could be eaten cold.
