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.
