问题 During the economic crisis, they had to cut back production and______ workers. (2015-74)
选项 A、lay into
B、lay off
C、lay down
D、lay aside
答案B
解析 lay off指“解雇，使下岗”，通常指“(因无活可干)暂时解雇”。请考生注意，lay off还有“放弃，戒掉”之意。如：lay off smoking戒烟。lay into比较口语，意为“痛打(某人)；斥责(某人)”，如：In the middle of the meeting he suddenly laid into his secretary for no apparent reason．在会上他突然无缘无故地把他的秘书训斥了一顿。lay down通常指“放下，放弃；制定，规定；献出(生命)，牺牲”，如：lay down one’s arms放下武器(指投降)，lay down a rule制定规则，lay down one’s life献出生命；lay aside通常指“(暂时)放下，停下”，如：She laid aside her knitting to rest her eyes for a moment．她把编织活放一边，休息一下眼睛。
