They can't prove it on Captain Butler but they want to make an example of someone, so Dr. Meade says.

他们在巴特勒船长身上找不到任何证据，可是正如米德大夫说的，他们总得搞出一个样板。.

" To make an example of" someone is to make someone serve as a warning to other people.

“以身作则” ，就是让某人起到警戒作用。

So, making an example of someone is punishing one person to show the other people what will happen to them if they break the same rule or break the same law.

因此，以身作则就是惩罚一个人， 以向其他人展示如果他们违反相同的规则或违反相同的法律将会发生什么。

To make an example of someone means to put them in a bad situation so everyone can see it, and they will go: " I don't want to do that. That's way too much trouble. I don't want that kind of problem." Okay?

” 以身作则，意思是把他们放在一个不好的境地， 让大家看到，他们会说：“我不想那样做。 那样太麻烦了。 我不想出现那种问题。 ” ” 好的？
