どのような正義を自業自得と言うのでしょうか。
現実の正義というよりむしろ。。。。
■解答■
正解はpoetic（詩人の、詩的な）。
poetic justice（詩的な正義）で、「自業自得」「勧善懲悪」
英英辞典では、「悪いことが誰かにたいして起きて、
思われるような状況」と説明されています。
まさしく日本語でいうところの「自業自得」ということですね。
現実では必ずしも悪が罰せられるとは限らないからこそ、「
いうことなのでしょうか。
日常会話で「（彼がそんな目にあったのは）自業自得だ。」

*****文學辭典關於「詩學正義」（poetic justice）？
根據Oxford Concise Dictionary of LITERARY TERMS
The term,"Poetic Justice," is coined by Thomas Rymer in his Tragedies of the Last Age Consider'd(1678) 它原來的意思是這種 「詩的公正」，通常在詩歌、戲劇和小說等中比較可能發生，
所以這樣說大體可行：
Poetic justice－即美德受褒揚，惡行被懲罰。
2005？
昨天談poetic justice。其實poetic 一字，除了與詩情相關，一直與"美和豐富的情感流露"相關（
Poetic第2義： APPROVING very beautiful or expressing emotion。）
今 天讀1900 年8月26日【紐約時報】發的"尼采教授的訃聞"（Prof. Nietzsche Dead），文末說明他的主要著作
（principal publications）： "The Old Faith and the New,"* "The Overman," "The Dawn of Day," "Twilight of the Gods," and "So Spake Zrathustra," which is perhaps the most remarkable of his works.
又讓人想到他的文風：簡要、有力、如詩般的激發人心，前無古人；一句話，這是超級的狂
狷之詩哲。
*2016.7.2 ：這本應該非尼采作品：
German philosopher and radical theologian David Friedrich Strauss (1808-1874) distinguished himself as one of Europe's most controversial critics of the Bible and an intellectual martyr for freethought. In The Old Faith & the New (1872) he uses both 19th- century science and leading philosophers to reject God as the creator of the universe and humankind, the divinity of Christ, and the reality of miracles (the Old Faith), thus consigning religion to the domains of history, myth, and ethics. With Christianity's cosmology undermined, Strauss constructs a new view of the universe and humanity's place in it grounded in science and contemporary technology, Darwinian evolution, and inductive reasoning (the New Faith), all of which offered the hope of finding solutions to human problems.

Shortly before 5 p.m., Mr. Rangel, who manages the company’s finances, was waiting to take Mr. Wu to a celebratory dinner when Alison Pill, an actress who appears in “Milk,” arrived at the studio. She had come for a fitting of an emerald dress she plans to wear to the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday.
“When I saw the movie,” Mr. Wu told her, “I cried.”
But it was Ms. Pill who appeared star-struck as she replied, “I’m the next Michelle Obama!”
starstruck
or star-struck adj.
Fascinated by or exhibiting a fascination with fame or famous people: “The star-struck tone of the text suggests that the author is giving us an exclusive peek into the secret lives of the justices” (Richard A. Epstein).
