Revenge 和 retaliation 都是指對某人或某事的報復行為，但它們之間有些微的差異：
Revenge
更偏向於個人情感上的報復，通常是因為受到傷害或冒犯而尋求回應，往往是出於個人的怨恨或復仇心理。
- She sought revenge against her ex-boyfriend by spreading rumors about him.
- The villain in the movie sought revenge against the hero for foiling his plans.
Retaliation
更多指的是對某種不公或攻擊性行為的回應，可能是出於自衛或維護公正的目的，而非僅僅基於個人情感。
- The country threatened retaliation if its borders were violated.
- The company faced retaliation from its competitors after launching a successful marketing campaign.
- revenge 更側重於個人情感和私人沖突
- retaliation 更與公平正義和對不公平行為的回應有關
