答案很简单，这是因为我们在烹炒鱿鱼的时候，鱿鱼须几乎是一炒就卷起来，用来比喻“卷铺盖走人”非常形象，所以慢慢地，它就成为了“被解雇”和“被开除”的代名词。
在英文中，我们虽然没有 fry squid 这种等同于“失业”的比喻，却也有很多很形象、很地道的近义表达。
FireSack （英式）Dismiss （更正式）
He was fired for being drunk.
他因为醉酒被开除了。
He was sacked for being drunk.
他因为醉酒被开除了。
She didn't want to get sacked.

People can be dismissed for misusing the Internet at work.

02.裁员 （更委婉）

圣诞节前两天他被开除了。
A: Have you been given the ax before?

04.被开除 （俚语）
Get canned

Theoretical physicists do not get canned.

05.裁员
Lay offLet somebody go
Many companies don't like to say that they are "laying people off" as it can sound cold and insensitive.
