“Get (one's) deserts” có từ desert là sự xứng đáng -> cụm từ này nghĩa là nhận cái mình xứng đáng được nhận, đặc biệt là chịu sự trừng phạt hoặc nhận hậu quả không tốt đẹp.
Ví dụ
I don't agree that Downton Abbey is a bore, but I want to know when that blighter (kẻ phá hoại, kẻ quấy rầy) Thomas is going to get his deserts.
The insider explained: "Talks on how Kirsty will leave are ongoing, but producers know the audience want her to get her deserts. One way or another, she will.
“It is, in my opinion, absurd (phi lý) to suppose that honest gains are charged to tax and dishonest gains escape. To hold otherwise would involve a plain breach of (sự vi phạm rõ ràng) the rules of the statute (đạo luật, quy chế), which require the full amount of the profits to be taxed and merely put a premium on dishonest trading. The burglar (kẻ trộm) and the swindler (kẻ lừa đảo), who carry on a trade or business for profit are as liable to tax as an honest business man, and, in addition they get their deserts elsewhere,” said Lord Morrison.
