句型Plus
1. Bob, I’m letting you go.
I’m letting you go. 的意思是“你被解雇了。你被开除了。”当告知员工被解雇的决定时，还可以用Pack your things. 和You’re fired. 来表示。
2. Well that is interesting, because I just got off the phone with him, and he is in.
get off在这里是“挂断电话”的意思。在表达“刚和某人通过电话”时，外国人更常用I just got off the phone with sb. 表示挂断电话还可以用ring off，hang up等。
