box sb. in the ear
give a good talking-to
take sb. to task
- 你真有运气,你说那些话时她没打你的嘴巴。
You were lucky she did not belt you in the mouth when you said that. - 黑暗中只听到一声亲吻声,接着就是一个狠狠的打嘴巴声,然后是一片寂静。
In the darkness, a kiss was heard, followed by a terrific slap… and then silence. - 即便世上最下贱的东西打我的嘴巴,我不但要转过另一边给他打,还要请他原谅我惹他动手。 而且,作为一个保证,我马上就要跟埃德加讲和啦。
Should the meanest thing alive slap me on the cheek, I'd not only turn the other, but, I'd ask pardon for provoking it; and, as a proof, I'll go make my peace with Edgar instantly.
