mete vt.量；测量；分配n.边界；界石 (1) 羞恶自有报，只争迟与早。(2) 犯人均已绳之以法。(3) 法官对犯人予以严惩。 Another word often used interchangeably with mete is dole, though there are slight differences in meaning: dole suggests a more lavish, unthinking form of activity than the more stingy and controlled mete, and while some nice things (like compassion or love) can be "doled out," it's very rare that anything pleasant or happy is "meted out."
