dismiss这个词儿可有意思了，用法特别多，咱一个一个掰扯：
1. 最常用的就是"开除"的意思，比如说"老板把员工给dismiss了"，就是炒鱿鱼呗
2. 表示"不理会、不当回事儿"，比如"他把我建议当耳旁风"可以说"He dismissed my suggestion"
3. "解散、让...离开"的意思，老师下课说"Class dismissed"就是"下课啦"
4. 法律上特指"驳回"，比如"法院dismiss了这个案子"就是案子被驳回了
5. 板球运动里指"使击球员出局"，这个比较专业哈
常见搭配：

小贴士：在职场上说"let sb go"比"dismiss"更委婉，都是老油条们惯用的说法~
