英语词汇：Walking papers解雇书

 　　收到Walking papers可不是什么好事情，首先它可以指解雇通知单，出典可能是收到了walking papers你就只得开路了。我们来看个例子：

　　例句-1：You know that guy in personnel who growls¹ at you if you want help? Well, he finally got his walking papers. He made the mistake of getting nasty with his own boss so he's out of here.

　　你知道人事部那个每当别人有求于他就对人大吼大叫的家伙吧，他终于被辞退了。他竟然发脾气发到自己上级头上了，这一来就被炒鱿鱼了。

　　这里的walking papers是解雇通知单，因为接到walking papers就意味着你得走路，离开工作岗位了。

　　Walking papers不仅可以指解雇通知，也可以指司法机构通知你配偶已与你离婚的公文。我们看个例子：

　　例句-2：My sister Rose finally got a divorce from this man. She really should have handed him his walking papers years ago - he was unfaithful, drank too much and even beat her if she said anything.

　　我姐姐Rose终于和这男人离婚了。其实她几年前就该跟他一刀两断的。这个人出轨、酗酒、甚至姐姐一有怨言他还动手打姐姐。

　　这里的walking papers是正式的离婚通知书。
