今天我们来学习一下lay off的用法，
其实很多中国同学看到这个都会想到“下岗”，是的lay off，layoff或者lay-off确实有这个意思。其中lay off是动词短语，后两者是名词的用法。
可以理解成：
to end someone's employment, usually due to a significant change in the company
通常由于公司巨大的变动而导致某些人无法继续工作。
可以理解成“解雇、裁员、下岗”这样的意思；
eg: How many people do you think will be laid off in this merger?
你觉得这次并购会有多少人被裁掉？
eg: I figured they would lay me off, I just didn't think it would be this soon.
我猜到了他们会解雇我，但是我就是没想到会这么快。
eg: Do you think this merger will be accompanied by layoffs?
你觉得这次商业并购之后会有裁员吗？
eg: The recent economic crisis has led to massive layoffs.
最近的经济危机导致了大规模的裁员。
今天视频中明显不是这个意思，今天视频中lay off的用法可以理解成：
to stop doing sth. or using sth.
停止做某事或者停止用某个东西；
eg: Well, you need to lay off the chocolates if you want to lose weight!
如果你想减肥的话，巧克力你可别继续吃了。
eg: Lay off that noise for a minute, so the baby can get to sleep.
先别发出那噪音，让宝宝先睡着。
eg: She resolved to lay off smoking.
她下决心要戒烟。
（这里也可以说quit smoking）
