迷你对话：,A:I heard Tom was caught stealing something again in the supermarket.,我听说汤姆在超市偷东西的时候又被抓住了。,B:Really? He deserves it! They should teach him a good lesson.,是吗？他活该！他们应该好好教训他一顿。,A: But the word is his brother would go bail for him. Last time it’s his father who went bail for him.,据说他哥哥要去为他做保。上次是他父亲为他的保。,B:Then he is really lucky.,他课真是够幸运的。,地道表达：go bail for,解词释义：bail作为名词有“保释，保释金”的意思，习语go bail for意为“做......的保释人，为......提供保释金，提供......数目的保释金”，作为这个意思可以等同于stand bail for。,拓展讲解：在口语中，go bail for也可以解释为“保证......是真实的”。,支持范例：,I shall have to put you in prison until your case can be heard unless you can find anyone to go bail for you.,我得把你送进监狱直到你的案子进行审理，除非你可以找个人保释你。,I am ready to go bail for the truth of the report.,我愿担保这一报导的真实性。,词海拾贝：,teach sb a lesson：教训某人一顿,Eg.
