Mete out

周五证监会举行新闻发布会表示将进一步加大对上市公司欺诈发行、财务造假，以及大股东违规占用等违法行为的打击力度。请看本报昨日的报道：

China’s securities regulator said Friday it would mete out increasingly tough penalties on fraudulent listings, accounting scams and misappropriation of funds by big shareholders, as part of a crackdown to boost confidence in the stock market.

报道中的mete out就是“给予某人应得的”。
