“That'll teach me?” I'm not going to school, nobody is going to 'teach me' not to stay out late.

It's just a saying . You might say it to someone to suggest that they should learn from the bad effects of doing something and not repeat it in the future. In other words, your stress this morning is a suitable punishment for staying out late last night – you won't do it again.

You sound like my parents! 原来，在英语，我们可以用“that’ll teach you”这个非常口语化的表达来告诉别人应该从一个不好的事情的后果中吸取教训，也就相当于我们汉语里常说的“这回你可长记性了吧！”

These examples might explain the phrase better.

Examples

You lent some money to Dan and he didn't pay you back – that'll teach you!

My brother got a speeding ticket for driving too fast down the high street – that'll teach him!

The footballer got a red card for his bad tackle and now he'll miss playing in the final – that'll teach him!

这里是 BBC 英语教学的《》节目。我们刚刚为大家介绍了一个非正式的英语表达“that’ll teach you”。这句话是用来提醒别人，“这次你知道做某事的后果了吧”或者“这回你可得从中吸取教训了。”I guess we could say 'it serves you right!'?
