輕松日記商務職場篇 第79期:懲罰他

核心句型：
I'll make it hot for him.
我要罰他。
make it hot for直譯過來就是：“為……把它弄熱”，這個短語的正確意思是：“懲罰，刁難”。因此，當美國人說"I'll makeit hot for him."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"I will punishhim."、"I will penalize him."、"I'll make trouble forhim."。
情景對白：
Boss: The staff's annual performance appraisal iscoming. So sort all the documents out for me. Ifsomeone performs rather badly, I'll make it hot for him.
