1. no effort here.

=21st=
1.a lesson; a moral
2.to lecture someone; to teach (or give, read) someone a lesson (for mistake or wrongdoing)

=Xinhua=
(1)
[lesson;moral]∶指从错误或挫折中得到的经验
水灾的教训
(2)
[education and training]∶教育训练
自无教训。――《玉台新咏·古诗为焦仲卿妻作》
十年生聚,十年教训
(3)
[chide;teach sb. a lesson;teach sb. moral]∶训导;训戒
狠狠地教训了他

=MoE=
教導訓戒。《儒林外史·第三一回》:「近來蒙少爺的教訓,纔曉得書是該念的。」《文明小史·第二二回》:「老夫子教訓得極是,兄弟偏見了。」似教導、教誨、教育、訓誨、訓誡

從失敗或錯誤的經驗中取得的認識。如:「你應牢記這一次的教訓,下次才不會再犯 。」


2. I like a verb sense first, a substantivized use next. I think that's nearly always so.

3. dicts give a mild (more classical?) sense as in Rulin Waishi above. "guidance" is what came to mind.

4. I don't think "moral" is fitting -- "the moral of a story" -- 教训 is the result of sth bad. But I would welcome words beyond "lesson"

5. for the colloquial use, "lecture" is evident but somewhat meh--教训他一顿. However I think "chide" is too mild, can be a short reprimand, and doesn't convey the sense that sb is given an earful in order to teach him a lesson.

6. I think 頓 would apply only to "talking-to"
