Sergeant Arrested for Assaulting Colleague
.
Summary:
The sergeant had it coming when he was cuffed by his fellow officers – failing to display professionalism by getting into an argument with a subordinate during a late-supper gathering aside, he should know better that hitting the female officer who attempted to break up the fight with a bottle was not exactly the way to get promoted or be a role model for both his men and the general public.
.
Language Enhancement:
Sb. had it coming (idm.)(抵死)
想說別人「活該」，相信同學都知道英文是 it serves sb. right 或 sb. deserve(s) it，但也不妨學會這個同義表達，注意它除了語氣是非正式，也是維持在過去式。
(Should) know better (ph.)(應比任何人都清楚不應該做某事)
何謂「知道得更好」？其實它的真正意思是某人應該比任何人都更加清楚，不應該去做某事，也因此這句話較常用於有一定年齡或年資的人士。
e.g. You had it coming; I did warn you not to swim before doing warm-ups.
e.g. As a teacher, you should know better not to get into a relationship with a student. —————————————————

fight過去式 在 EN English Facebook 的最讚貼文
!!!used to/ be used to/ get used to 的分別!!!
1. S + used to + V1(動詞原型)/N(名詞)：過去曾經…
表示過去經常性動作或習慣或狀態，現在已經沒有這樣的習慣或狀態。used 是動詞的過去式，所以要用改否定要用didn’t use to + V1。問句要用did來造問句。
►He used to play basketball five days a week before he hurt his leg.
他腳受傷前，他曾經一個星期打五天籃球。
►I used to smoke a lot, but I quit a few years ago.
我從前抽煙很兇，但是我幾年前戒了。
►Did you use to fight with your brother? 你從前常跟你的弟弟打架嗎？
2. S+ be used to + V-ing (動詞的現在分詞)/N(名詞)：習慣於…
由於經驗的關係，對某件事不再感到驚訝，奇怪或困難，所以已經習慣於某件事。be used to 的句型因為有be這個助動詞，所以在否定句時只要在be後面加not，在疑問句時則把be放到主詞前面。可以用在過去習慣於某件事或現在習慣於某件事
►I do the dishes every day, so I’m used to it.
我每天都洗盤子，所以我已經習慣了。
►His new job is very busy and he is used to working late until 10 or 11 p.m.
他的新工作非常忙，他已經習慣於工作到十點，十一點。
►He isn’t used to driving on the left.
他不習慣開車開左邊。（現在還是不習慣）
►He wasn’t used to driving on the left, but now he’s used to it.
他先前不習慣開左邊，但是他現在習慣了。
►Are you used to your new school?
你習慣於你的新學校了嗎？
3. S + get used to + V-ing/N(名詞)： 習慣於
跟第二個用法一樣，只是get是一般動詞，所以表達現在習慣於時，用現在簡單式，get used to + V-ing，改否定時用don’t/doesn’t get use to + V-ing, 問句時把do/does放到主詞前造問句。表達過去習慣於某事，則用got used to + V-ing ，改否定用didn’t get used to + V-ing，問句則把did 放到主詞前造問句。
►He gets used to the weather.
他對天氣感到習慣了。（剛開始可能不適應）
►I didn’t get used to wearing contact lenses when I first started to wear them.
我剛開始戴隱形眼鏡的時候不太習慣。
很重要, 大家一定要分別清楚！！！
