that'll teach sb
used to say that a person should avoid doing something bad in the future thanks to the experience of the effects of their actions
这下(某人)该知道(做某事的)后果了,这下(某人)该知道(不应做某事了)
它使用的场景是这样的:
You can say this after something bad has happened to someone who should have been more careful, or should have known better.
你可以在某人发生了不好的事情之后,这件不好的事情是他本来应该更小心,或者应该更清楚的时候说这句话。
例:
A: Have you heard? Matthew was cycling home last night and crashed into a car.
你听说了吗,马修昨晚骑自行车回家时撞车了。
B: That'll teach him, riding his bicycle without lights as usual.
这下他该知道像往常一样骑自行车没有灯是不行的了。
That'll teach him to go out without his house keys!
那就是他不带房门钥匙出去的教训。
