Do a number 造成伤害如何表达

 　　李华在问Larry去野营的事。

　　LH: Hi, Larry! 你们去野营，开心吗？

　　LL: Sure, I guess so... but look at this sunburn I got! The sun really did a number on my face!

　　LH: 哟，看你的脸给晒的！ 你说太阳怎么啦？Did a number，太阳和数字有什么关系呀？

　　LL: The sun did a number on my face. Did a number means¹ that the sun did a lot of damage, I got a really bad sunburn!

　　LH: Did a number 意思是造成很大损坏。对，你晒得可真厉害。你的手臂呢？

　　LL: Oh, those are mosquito² bites. The mosquitoes³ really did a number on my arms... and my legs, and my neck...

　　LH: 蚊子把你咬成那样呀！瞧你的手臂，还有腿，哟，还有脖子上！不过，你总算去玩了。我呀，才倒霉呢。车子好好停在那里，一个人会开着车撞上去，把我的门给撞坏了。He did a number on the door.

　　LL: Wow, too bad. At least you were lucky that you weren’t in the car when he hit it, he could have done a real number on you, not just your car.

　　LH: 对，幸好我没在车里，否则我肯定会受伤的。我姐姐以前就在出车祸时手臂骨给撞断了。

　　LL: That’s terrible! A few years ago someone in a car hit me while I was riding my bicycle on the street. I was not hurt, but it really did a number on my bike!

　　LH: 汽车撞你自行车，结果你居然没有受伤。自行车坏了没事。那个人赔你钱了？

　　LL: Nothing, because he drove⁴ off. Good for him: I was angry and felt like doing a number on his face with my fists.

　　LH: 撞了就开走了？那太不象话了。这种人真是该揍他一顿。不过像你这样软棉棉的手，受伤的可能是你的手，而不是他的脸。

　　LL: Speaking of doing a number, that camping food really made my stomach uncomfortable. I need some coffee.

　　LL: 野营的饭让你的胃不舒服？不过你空肚子喝咖啡...

　　LH: Oh, yeah, that’ll do a number on me, I’d better eat first.
