地道表達(dá):
boot out of the job :當(dāng)場(chǎng)解雇某人
解詞釋義:
boot在改習(xí)語(yǔ)中做動(dòng)詞,意思是“踢”,比喻為“攆走”。例如:He was booted out of the house.(他被攆出屋子。)改習(xí)語(yǔ)字面意思來(lái)是“把某人從工作中攆走”,意即“解雇某人”。
支持范例:
Eg.He was booted out of the job on the grounds of negligence.
他因?yàn)^職而遭解雇。
Eg.The workers of the factory have been booted out of the job on account of the depression.
由于不景氣,工廠的工人被暫時(shí)解雇。
Eg.She was totally unreliable, so she was booted out of the job.
