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。
