第153期:为某人作保

英语情景对话:

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。

习语: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。
