Picture someone in authority a hand: you may go — and the matter is closed. Dismiss is that wave. Aim it at a class and they leave the room; at an employee and they leave the job; at an idea and it leaves your mind ; at a court case and it goes no further. In every one, someone with the standing to do so ends it.

可以想成:一個有權力的人揮一下手:你可以走了——而且這件事就到此為止。dismiss 就是那個揮手。揮向一班學生,他們離開教室;揮向一名員工,他離開職位;揮向一個想法,它連被認真考慮的機會都沒有;揮向一件官司,它不再往下走。共通點是:做這個動作的人,有資格讓它結束。
