进一步阐述

复仇是我们日常生活中的一个常见话题,尽管复仇对防止犯罪再次发生往往并没有起什么积极作用。“复仇”比“报复”更能满足那些受过某种伤害的人,它表现了极大的愤怒,有时比最初的罪行更糟糕。

阅读复仇故事可以给我们提供一个情绪释放,让我们在不伤害别人的前提下传递复仇的愤怒,否则,亲自实践复仇可能给我们带来麻烦。同时,看到坏人收到惩罚,我们也会有一种正义的满足感,并且坚信正义不会缺席。

Discussion

Revenge is a common topic within oureveryday lives, although the effect in terms of preventing recurrence of thecrime is often negligible. 'Vengeance', even more than the very similar'revenge' is done for the satisfaction of those who have been harmed in someway, and can be an act of greatanger, sometimes arguably worse than the originalcrime.

Seeing vengeance in a story provides us

with a vicarious release, allowing us to harmlessly channel our vengeful anger

that might otherwise get us into trouble. Seeing the villain punished gives a

sense of righteous satisfaction and confirmation that right will always be

done.
