二、teach sb to do sth 的引申用法

teach sb to do sth 有時(shí)可用于引申義，表示懲罰某人以使其不再敢做某事。這樣用時(shí)主要用于以下幾個(gè)句式：

1. I'll teach sb (not) to do sth

可根據(jù)情況譯為：如果……我要讓你有得瞧；你若……我就要教訓(xùn)你；如果你……我就要對(duì)你不客氣。如：

I'll teach you to call me a liar! 你說我說謊，我就要教訓(xùn)你!

2. That'll teach sb (not) to do sth

通?？勺g為：這就是給……做某事的教訓(xùn)；看……還（敢不敢）做不做某事。如：

That'll teach you to be late! 這就是遲到給你的教訓(xùn)！

So Roger spent the night in a freezing garage, did he? That'll teach him to go out without his house keys! 羅杰在冷冰冰的車庫里過了一晚是嗎？那就是他不帶房門鑰匙出去的教訓(xùn)。

3. This'll teach sb (not) to do sth

通?？勺g為：要讓……嘗嘗做某事的后果；要給……以教訓(xùn)；要懲罰……做某事；好好教訓(xùn)……使其不敢做某事。如：

This will teach you not to shit on me. 我要讓你嘗嘗告發(fā)我的后果。

This'll teach him to put a frog in my bed. 他膽敢把青蛙放在我床上，我就要讓叫他嘗嘗這樣干的后果。

說明：This'll teach sb (not) to do sth 與 That'll teach you (not) to do sth 的區(qū)別是，前者主通常在進(jìn)行懲罰之前用，后者則通常在進(jìn)行懲罰之后用。

另外，有時(shí)若語境明確，可省略其后的不定式，其翻譯也可采用以上類似的表達(dá)。如：

So you were ill after eating those green apples, were you? That'll teach you. 這么說你是吃了那些生蘋果才得病的，是嗎？這就是給你的教訓(xùn)。
