a situation in which virtue is rewarded and vice is punished, often ironically
一种美德得到奖励,恶习受到惩罚的情况,通常是讽刺性的 (yī zhǒng měidé dédào jiǎnglì, èxí shòudào chéngfá de qíngkuàng, tōngcháng shì fèngcìxìng de)
"It was poetic justice when the dishonest lawyer lost his case due to his own lies."
"当那个不诚实的律师因为自己的谎言而输掉案件时,这就是诗意的正义。" (Dāng nàgè bù chéngshí de lǜshī yīnwèi zìjǐ de huǎngyán ér shū diào ànjiàn shí, zhè jiùshì **shīyì de zhèngyì**.)
when one opportunity is lost, another appears
to show respect or admiration for someone
to recover after an illness or difficulty
to tell something briefly
to create your own way of achieving success or independence
