大家好，歡迎來到《可可口語課堂》。今天我們要學習的句子是：As you had it coming to you, you must face the music now.
Have it coming聽起來像是什么東西到來了，而這個到來的東西是指“下場”“應得的不好的結果”，所以這個短語我們可以理解為“咎由自取”。
When he lost his fortune, everyone said that he had it coming.
他財富盡失的時候，大家都說他是咎由自取。
Fortune 在這兒指財富，lost one’s fortune失去財富。這個人大概是花錢如流水或者經常賭博。
I feel sorry about Jack's failing that course but he had it coming to him.
上課不認真，還老小差，所以功課不及格也沒人同情。
下面我們來聽一個小對話:
A: A friend of mine is now in the big house. He was caught for selling cocaine.
我的一個朋友現(xiàn)在在監(jiān)獄里，他出售可卡因給人當場抓住。
B: That is a deadly risky business. He should have it coming to him.
這買賣可是風險很大的。他是罪有因得。
Big house字面意思是“大房子”，在口語中表示監(jiān)獄。Cocaine可卡因，1985年成為世界性主要毒品。Deadly在這兒指“非?！?。

As you had it coming to you, you must face the music now.
前半小結我們已經理解了，那么后半小結是face the music是什么意思呢？什么叫做“面對音樂”呢？
Face the music來源于軍隊術語。說的是過去在軍隊里，如果有軍官犯了錯誤要被免職就得接受免職儀式的懲戒。當上級宣布免職命令后，樂隊就會當著被免職的軍官奏響軍樂。所以face the music（面對音樂）后來就被用來指接受懲罰、面對斥責和批評。
Someday you're going to have to face the music for your actions.
總有一天，你將不得不承擔自己的行為所帶來的后果。
A boy was caught by his teacher when fighting with his classmate. So he had to face the music. 一個男孩子和他同學打架時候，被老師抓個正著。他要等著挨訓了。
下面來聽一個小對話：
A: Murder, dealing drugs...It's time for you to face the music.
B: I don't know what you are talking about, officer. You don't have any proof.
謀殺、販毒……你面對現(xiàn)實的時候到了。
我不知道你在說什么，警官。你沒有任何證據(jù)。
Murder謀殺 dealing drugs 販毒 Proof 證明，證據(jù)
It's time for sb. To do sth. 該是某人做某事的時候了。
我們時常面臨著各種各樣的選擇，而在紛繁的選擇面前常有人失去了判斷，做出了愚蠢的事兒。所以在我們做任何事之前一定要look before you leap三思而后行，以免有一天別人指著你的鼻子說：As you had it coming to you, you must face the music now.（既然你咎由自取，那現(xiàn)在你必須面對現(xiàn)實、承擔后果了。）須知你的后果只有你自己能負責，所以踏踏實實做事，實實在在做人。今天的口語課堂就到這里，我們下期再見，拜拜！
