"**"的英文

**
in the strictest sense, means
(1) to reject kindness and to embrace cruelty
(2) to prefer to learn things the hard way

In the first scenario described, you didn't appreciate your parents' loving kindness when you were with them, and only realized it when you had left them. You didn't really deliberately reject kindness in favour of cruelty, so it is not ** in the strictest sense, but it would still fall in that category. Your ** behaviour, therefore, is that "you were stupid enough to only treasure your parents' loving kindness when you couldn't have it.

In the second scenario described, you did learn things the hard way, but didn't knowingly chose to do so, so it is not ** in the strictest sense, but it would still fall in that category. Your ** behaviour, therefore, is that "you were stupid enough to only appreciate your parents' good advices when it's too late".

I would just say ** in your situations are:
(1) you only treasure your parents' loving kindness when you couldn't have it.
(2) you only appreciate your parents' good advices when it's too late.

**-- 自作賤 -- 自己攞嚟賤(廣東話) -- 也可引伸成"現眼報"

所以"**"有以下數個建議譯法給你參考:

1. To put it harshly, that's something I(he /she) asked for. (說難聽一點是**)

2.To put it more harshly, that's what I(he/she) pushed for. (說更難聽一點也是**)

3.To put it harshly, what goes around comes around. (引伸成"現眼報")

"What goes around comes around." 也有"種瓜得瓜", "自作自受"之意
