dismiss

音標(biāo)發(fā)音

15世紀(jì)初期進(jìn)入英語(yǔ)，直接源自古法語(yǔ)的desmis；最初源自古典拉丁語(yǔ)的dimissus(dimittere的過(guò)去分詞）：di (分開(kāi)） + mittere (送出），意為分別送出。

dismiss的基本意思是“不再保有或同意離開(kāi)”,指自動(dòng)或被迫脫離所負(fù)的責(zé)任或所任的職務(wù)。引申可作“置之不理”“不加考慮”解。
dismiss作“解雇”解時(shí),并不追究事情的前因后果,故雙方均可接受,語(yǔ)氣較為平和。
dismiss用作及物動(dòng)詞,可接名詞或代詞作賓語(yǔ),還可接以as短語(yǔ)充當(dāng)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)。
dismiss在其賓語(yǔ)后面接介詞as時(shí),動(dòng)詞賓語(yǔ)和介詞賓語(yǔ)都指事,表示“當(dāng)作…時(shí)而不予考慮”。賓語(yǔ)后接介詞for,介詞賓語(yǔ)指事(可以是名詞或動(dòng)名詞),表示解雇的原因。賓語(yǔ)后接介詞from,介詞賓語(yǔ)指地位和職務(wù)時(shí),表示“解雇,免職”; 介詞賓語(yǔ)指思想時(shí),表示“打消念頭”。
dismiss用于法律上時(shí),還有“駁回”的意思,常用于被動(dòng)式。

The new governor dismissed the staff that served his predecessors.
新州長(zhǎng)將前任州長(zhǎng)的職員全部解雇。
