Question

retaliate v.报复；回敬 (1) 他寻求每一个机会向迫害他的人们复仇。(2) 他在伺机报复。(3) 他打了妹妹一巴掌，他妹妹回敬他一脚。 When you see the prefix re in a word, it usually means back. To return, remember, regurgitate (yuck) — all of these verbs relate to doing something back. At the beginning of retaliate it means back, and the taliate means to pay, so what you’re talking about here is payback. If you’re doing something terrible to someone just because you want to, that’s doesn’t mean to retaliate. But, if you feel they’ve done something bad to you, and you’re just getting them back? That’s when you retaliate.
