Boot is a versatile English word with multiple meanings:
1. A type of footwear that covers the foot and ankle
2. The process of starting up a computer (short for bootstrap)
3. The trunk of a car (British English)
4. To kick forcefully
5. Slang for dismissing someone from a job
6. In military terms, a new recruit
Boot这词儿可太有意思了，咱们今儿个就好好掰扯掰扯：
1. 最常见的就是靴子，就是那种能包住脚踝的鞋，冬天穿可暖和了
2. 电脑开机也叫boot，专业点说就是"引导启动"，老外管这叫"提着自己鞋带把自己拽起来"，够形象吧
3. 在英国那边儿，boot指的是汽车后备箱，跟咱说的"trunk"一个意思
4. 当动词用就是猛踹，比如"boot the door"就是一脚把门踹开
5. 职场黑话里，get the boot就是被炒鱿鱼了，相当于"卷铺盖走人"
6. 军队里管新兵蛋子叫boot，跟咱们说的"菜鸟"差不多
补充个小知识：为啥电脑启动叫boot？这得从"bootstrap"这个词说起，原意是靴子后面的小带子，后来引申为"靠自己努力成功"的意思，跟咱们说的"自力更生"一个理儿。
