Ví dụ
The resident manager had later berated the family health worker for making a critical comment which was a reflection on his political boss. “You will get your just deserts for blaming our political boss who had done a great service to the people in this area!” he had warned her. The resident manager was promoted to a higher grade just one week after this incident, they say.
"Anyone who knows me knows I didn't want to do things easily. I didn't want to take shortcuts. I want to earn respect and get my props, and if I win this fight I get my just deserts and my props. I've had to be patient. I've had a few slip ups along the way, y'know with problems here and there. But that's all behind me now. I feel brilliant, I'm in the peak of my career so... let's see what I'm all about."
The narrative of GTA IV is a variation on the rags-to-riches tales found in gangster movies dating back to the original Scarface and Little Caesar. (Only you don’t get your just deserts in GTA. Or if you do get your just deserts, you can simply restart from your last save point and try again.) Our anti-hero is Niko Bellic, an immigrant from Eastern Europe who has done terrible things that he’d like to forget. Follow the game’s missions—he’ll do work for the Russian mob, Irish gangsters, the Mafia, biker gangs, Latino drug kingpins, Rastafarian arms dealers, and corrupt congressmen—and you’ll commit innumerable murders and thefts to get ahead.
