地道表达：

boot out of the job：当场解雇某人

解词释义：

boot在改习语中做动词，意思是“踢”，比喻为“撵走”。例如：He was booted out of the house.（他被撵出屋子。）改习语字面意思来是“把某人从工作中撵走”，意即“解雇某人”。

支持范例：

Eg.He was booted out of the job on the grounds of negligence.

他因渎职而遭解雇。

Eg.The workers of the factory have been booted out of the job on account of the depression.
