生活不容易，人生十有八九不如意，其中工作不顺心是其中之一。有的时候工作繁芜丛杂或毫无头绪，有的时候老板咄咄逼人或颐指气使，有的时候关系错综复杂或进退两难，这些都有可能导致一个人被解雇。
在英语中表达“解雇”最常用的单词是 fire/sack，dismiss 次之，它们是同义词，其中 fire/sack 指强迫某人离开现在的工作，用于非正式场合，而dismiss 用于正式的场合中解雇某人，例如：
fire/sack:
She didn't want to get fired.
她不想被解雇。
She was fired/sacked after she was caught stealing from her employer. 她因被发现从雇主那里偷东西而被开除了。
The company is reducing its workforce by firing/sacking 500 employees.这家公司解雇了500名员工，从而减少了劳动力。
dismiss:
什么是会计科目He has been dismisd from his job for incompetence.
他因不称职而被解雇。
Salespeople may be dismisd for many reasons, the most common of which is poor performance.
销售人员可能会因为很多原因被解雇，其中最常见的是业绩不佳。英文句子唯美简短

英语短语动词 lay sb off/pay sb off 也可以表示解雇某人；其中 lay sb off 通常指因为工作不多而被解雇，它对应的名词 layoff/lay-off 也是解雇或裁员的意思，英语中有很多短语动词有对应的名词；而 pay sb off 是比较温和的解雇，可以译为”付清工资后解雇；遣散“，例如：
lay sb off/layoff/lay-off:
She was laid off along with many others when the company moved to California.
公司搬到加利福尼亚后，她和其他许多人一起被解雇了。

pay sb off:

形容词 redundant 也有类似的意思，译为“被裁减的“，常用于搭配 make sb/ redundant，例如：

I got a pink slip in my pay envelope nowadays.
今天我的薪水袋里加了一张解雇通知书。
