复仇的。
🚩vindictive是“想复仇的，怀恨在心的，强调怀有报复的愿望，暗示天性、脾气、心态而不是行为”，柯林斯解释为If you say that someone is vindictive, you are critical of them because they deliberately try to upset or cause trouble for someone who they think has done them harm.。
如：
How can you be so vindictive?你的报复心怎么那么强？
a vindictive woman desperate for revenge against the man who loved and left her不顾一切企图报复那个对自己始乱终弃的男人的女子
🚩revengeful是指“因为被激怒而准备复仇，以表示惩罚，有时候也可以用于实行报复的手段”，牛津词典解释为feeling or showing a desire for revenge。
如：
He waged a revengeful war.他发动了一场报复性的战争。
🚩vengeful是“图谋报复的，想报仇的”，它与revengeful相同，但是强调想报仇的愿望和行为是由于对方造成的伤害所引起的。柯林斯解释为If you describe someone as vengeful, you are critical of them because they feel a great desire for revenge.。
如：
He was stabbed to death by his vengeful wife.他被图谋报复的妻子拿刀捅死了。
He did not think he was any more cruel, any more vengeful than other men.他认为自己并不比其他人更冷酷，也不比别人更爱报复。
