常见误用提醒
使用 disciplinary：He received a disciplinary for being late. → He received disciplinary action for being late. (错误：disciplinary 是形容词，不能直接用作名词表示“处分”。正确：应使用名词短语如 disciplinary action 或 disciplinary measures。)
使用 disciplinary：The teacher gave him a disciplinary punishment. → The teacher imposed disciplinary measures on him. (错误：disciplinary punishment 搭配不自然，punishment 已隐含纪律含义。正确：使用 impose disciplinary measures 或 take disciplinary action 更地道。)
使用 punishment：He got a punishment from his boss. → He received punishment from his boss. (中文常说'得到惩罚'，但英语中'get punishment'不够正式，'receive punishment'更符合英语表达习惯。)
