成語：眦睚必報或睚眥必報（ZI YA BI BAO OR YA ZI BI BAO）: don’t let anyone get away even with a hostile look; to indicate a guy who is very narrow-minded.
出處：戰國策秦策，范雎傳。
釋義：范雎在魏國受到鞭笞而被逐出國境，因為受辱及痛苦極深，所以說出“眥睚必報”的話來；即瞪人一眼都會報復；是一個負面的成語。反義詞為：“受人點滴泉湧以報”。錙銖必較。
故事：戰國時代，魏國有個中大夫名范雎，因得罪了上司而以莫須有的罪名被鞭笞，並驅逐出境。范雎善長辯才，當他逃亡到秦國時改名為張祿，因為他怕秦昭王知道自己是一個逃犯。當他在秦國時，利用他的善辯口才接近秦昭王，並常常提出“遠交近攻”的政治策略。秦昭王認為范雎的意見甚佳，就讓范雎住在秦國，並任命他為客卿。以後范雎有機會常常和秦昭王見面，並常常提出有價值的建議給秦昭王。漸漸地獲得秦昭王的信任。最後，范雎被任命為秦國宰相。現在范雎已經變成秦國甚至全中國的最富有且具最大權力的名人。如今范雎認為是與過去的恩人及仇家該算算舊賬時候了。過去凡給他恩惠的人，甚至一飯之恩，也要泉湧以報。而對於仇家按照加諸他身上的惡性程度而加以報復，即使瞪他一眼的人也不放過。
用法：小聰的父親警告小聰說，小明是一個心胸窄俠“眥睚必報”的人，最好勿與之接近。
