“Get (one’s) comeuppance” = Nhận sự trừng phạt thích đáng, nhận điều mình xứng đáng phải nhận
Ví dụ
“I want to keep on with that approach, to persevere with hope when clearly every little thing isn't turning out all right.” “It may be I'll get my comeuppance – that the good Lord is challenging me, he's laughing at me before sending down the locusts. But I'm determined to remain optimistic.”
“My friends in Ireland are never slow to tell me I’m going to get my comeuppance. Every time I’m over there I get a strong sense of ‘who do you think you are?’ “We have a reputation for playing stylish football, so everyone tells me I’ve been watching yer man at Manchester City too much” – Brian Barry-Murphy on being brought down a peg or two back in Cork, Ireland, and comparisons to Pep Guardiola.
‘They are unbeaten at home and we are next to them in the league, so if we can go down there and do what we have been doing on our travels, being hard to beat, it should be a good game. ‘For us it is all about the next game. Three points are on offer, and as a group we are not getting too far ahead of ourselves. If you do that, then you probably get your comeuppance in this game. ‘We have got to recover superbly now. We were not at our best on Saturday but we will be back stronger when we are back in front of our fans.’
