在英语中，当一个人需要受到惩罚时，可以使用短语"be punished"来表示。例如：

"The criminal was punished for his crimes." (罪犯因他的罪行受到了惩罚。)
"Children who misbehave should be punished." (行为不端的儿童应该受到惩罚。)

这个短语的来源可能源自古英语中的"puniscan"，这个单词有"惩罚"的意思。这个单词可能源自拉丁文"punire"，意思是"惩罚"或"处罚"。

其他一些表示"惩罚"的短语还有：

"be penapzed" (受到处罚)
"be fined" (被罚款)
"be reprimanded" (受到谴责)
"be sentenced" (被判刑)

例如：

"The team was penapzed for unsportsmanpke conduct." (由于不体谅观点，球队被处罚。)
"The driver was fined for speeding." (驾驶员因超速而被罚款。)
"The employee was reprimanded for not following company popcies." (员工因未遵守公司政策而受到谴责。)
"The defendant was sentenced to five years in prison." (被告被判五年监禁。)
