【核心短語(yǔ)】a Roland for an Oliver

【解詞釋義】此語(yǔ)中的Roland和Oliver是中世紀(jì)Charlemagne大帝手下的兩名大將，都為國(guó)王立下了汗馬功勞，最后兩人交戰(zhàn)五天，部分勝負(fù)，因此該語(yǔ)引申為“旗鼓相當(dāng)”“勢(shì)均力敵”“旗鼓相當(dāng)”等意思。

【典型例句1】He whipped my dog, so I gave him a Roland for his Oliver and thrashed his cat.

他鞭我的狗，我于是打他的貓報(bào)復(fù)。

【典型范例2】He was comforted by the thought that he had given Mrs Green a Roland for herOliver.

一想到已經(jīng)用以牙還牙的方式對(duì)待了格林太太，他就感到寬慰。
