Feifei
大傢好，歡迎收聽《地道英語》節目。我是馮菲菲。

Rob
… and hello I’m Rob.

Feifei
Rob, thanks for giving me a lift home from the station tonight.

Rob
No problem Feifei. Happy to help… and look we’re almost home… just turn this corner.

Feifei
Great – I would have got very wet walking home in this rain.

Rob
That’s OK… but I was wondering if you could do something for me now?

Feifei
Oh! Rob 開車回傢，捎我瞭一程，我本以為他送我就是因為雨下得太大，不過看來他是別有用心。Rob, did you just give me a lift home so that I would do something for you?

Rob
Well… err… you know what they say… ‘one good turn deserves another’.

Feifei
‘One good turn deserves another’? 等等，你是在說開車技巧嗎？There’s no need to ‘turn another corner’, we’re already at my house.

Rob
No Feifei – I mean when someone does something to help you, you should do something helpful in return.

Feifei
Oh, is that right! 原來，在英語裡，one good turn deserves another 的意思是別人對你伸出援助之手，給瞭你幫助，你則應當以德報德，一報還一報，禮尚往來。咱們來聽幾個使用 one good turn deserves another 的例句。

Examples
A: Do you mind doing the washing up? I did do all the cooking and one good turn does deserve another!
B: Oh, OK then.

Please can you help me with my homework, I did yours last week and you know what they say: one good turn deserves another!

He helped me fix my car, so I was happy to let him borrow it if he needed to – one good turn deserves another.

Feifei
One good turn deserves another 一報還一報實際表達的意思就是善有善報，以德報德。Hmm, I’ve been thinking Rob, you’re right – you did me a kind favour and I should help you – so how can I help?

Rob
Well, if you’re sure Feifei – I wondered if you could help me paint my house this weekend?

Feifei
什麼？幫你粉刷房子？

Rob
Not all of it – just the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom and the bedroom.

Feifei
你是不是有點兒太貪心瞭？Rob, I’m sure one good turn deserves another of equal value – giving me a lift home isn’t the same as painting all of your house!

Rob
Oh, so the answer is ‘no’ then?

Feifei
No! Bye.

Rob
Erm… bye. And you can walk next time!
