內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介

菲菲昨天晚上玩得很盡興，所以早上睡過(guò)了頭，上班遲到了。這個(gè)經(jīng)歷是不是給了菲菲一個(gè)教訓(xùn)？在日常對(duì)話中，我們可以使用口語(yǔ)表達(dá)“that’ll teach you”來(lái)告訴別人“要吸取這次犯錯(cuò)的教訓(xùn)”。來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)這個(gè)表達(dá)的相關(guān)用法。

Neil
Hello, welcome to Authentic Real English with me, Neil and errr… where's Feifei?

Feifei
哎，對(duì)不起，我來(lái)晚了。大家好！

Neil
Goodness, it's not like you to be late. You're always so punctual and smartly dressed. But today you look a mess, if you don't mind me saying.

Feifei
什么？你說(shuō)我看起來(lái)亂七八糟、蓬頭垢面？I do mind you saying, Neil. It's been a very stressful morning. I didn't have time to shower, iron my clothes or even have breakfast.

Neil
Hmm. Did you get up late by any chance?

Feifei
Yes, you're right. I forgot to set my alarm last night. 所以早上睡過(guò)了頭！

Neil
Has this got anything to do with you going out last night? I suppose you're going to tell me you had such a great time, you stayed out later than expected?

Feifei
Yes, how did you guess? 不過(guò)昨晚真是玩得非常開(kāi)心，我很久都沒(méi)有這么盡興了！But I'm regretting it now!

Neil
Ah well, that'll teach you for staying out late,enjoying yourself!

Feifei
“That'll teach me?” I'm not going to school, nobody is going to 'teach me' not to stay out late.

Neil
It's just a saying Feifei. You might say it to someone to suggest that they should learn from the bad effects of doing something and not repeat it in the future. In other words, your stress this morning is a suitable punishment for staying out late last night – you won't do it again.

Feifei
You sound like my parents! 原來(lái)，在英語(yǔ)，我們可以用“that’ll teach you”這個(gè)非?？谡Z(yǔ)化的表達(dá)來(lái)告訴別人應(yīng)該從一個(gè)不好的事情的后果中吸取教訓(xùn)，也就相當(dāng)于我們漢語(yǔ)里常說(shuō)的“這回你可長(zhǎng)記性了吧！”

Neil
These examples might explain the phrase better.

Examples
You lent some money to Dan and he didn't pay you back – that'll teach you!

My brother got a speeding ticket for driving too fast down the high street – that'll teach him!

The footballer got a red card for his bad tackle and now he'll miss playing in the final – that'll teach him!

Feifei
這里是 BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。我們剛剛為大家介紹了一個(gè)非正式的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)“that’ll teach you”。這句話是用來(lái)提醒別人，“這次你知道做某事的后果了吧”或者“這回你可得從中吸取教訓(xùn)了?！盜 guess we could say 'it serves you right!'?

Neil
Yes, it's a very informal but blunt way of saying 'your suffering is your own fault'. And for you it's true.

Feifei
But do you know what, Neil? Despite my suffering, I had a really good night out.

Neil
Oh did you? And who did you have this 'great night out' with?

Feifei
Everyone from the office. We all went to the pub. That'll teach you for leaving the office early, Neil. You left too early and you missed out!

Neil
Hmm. That's enough teaching for one day. I'm off.

Feifei
Bye!
