book对大伙来讲太熟知了，
但在平时口语和习语中，
book总是不可以当书来理解，
譬如今天要和大伙一块学习的这几个例子。

01
bring someone to book
这个习语中的book并非大家常说的书，而是指law book，因此这个习语的意思不是带某人到书里或带某人去登记，，正确的意思是：给某人应有些惩罚。

例句：
Police should be asked to investigate so that the guilty can be brought to book soon.
应该请警察来调查，尽快将罪犯绳之以法。

02
cook the books
cook除去烹饪，还有捏造或篡改的意思;book不只指书，还指账本，所以，cook the books是指做假账、隐瞒真实的价值和开支。

例句：
My boss was caught by the police recently, because he secretly cooked the books and moved a big sum of money to his private account.
我老板近期被警察抓走了，由于他虚报账目，而且把一大笔钱存到了自己名下。


03
read sb. like a book
read sb. like a book意思是对某人一清二楚。

例句：
We have known each other for 10 years. I can read him like a book.
大家已经认识10年了，我对他一清二楚。


04
take a leaf from sb.'s book
take a leaf from sb.'s book是固定短语，意思是学某人的样子。

例句：
The little boy likes to take a leaf from his mother's book.
这个小孩子喜欢学他母亲的样子。


05
throw the book at sb.
throw the book at sb. 是口语，意思是往某人身/头上加罪名、从严判处某人、严厉惩罚某人、狠狠责骂某人。

例句：
They threw the book at him.
他们把罪名往他头上扣。
