Resign
[rɪ'zaɪn]
vt. 辞职;放弃
Resign来自拉丁语resignare(取消,放弃,投降,解除)。Resign(辞职)= re-(回,向后)+ -sign(作标记),重新作记号引申为再签字,再引申为辞职。
Resign同近义词有leave office,quit,step down,leave,depart。常见短语有resign from office辞职、resign one’s position辞职、decide to resign决定辞职。
人在职场走,哪有不辞职。多数人不会一辈子在一个岗位上从一而终(from beginning to end),辞职便是多数职场打工人要面对的问题。
辞职前要慎重(resign with great caution),分析原因、考虑后果、权衡利弊(weight the advantage and disadvantage)、再做决定。其实,辞职也是一门大学问(That’s a lot to learn)。
我们来看2个例句:
She resigned her directorship and left the firm.
她放弃了董事职务, 离开了公司。
People would probably resign because of the low salary.
人们可能会因为工资太低而辞职。
