如题所述

Answer 1

好问题！对，Get off work 是正式英语，略有下班之意。
Knock off 是俚语，作为俚语，knock off 有几个不同意思：

1. 下班，休息，或停止。如：Let’s knock off work at noon.
2. 完成，做完，草草了事： That author knocked off a book a year early.
3. 除掉，减少：She is overweight; she needs to knock off 12 pounds in a month.
4. 劫持：The robber knocked off a bank in this neighborhood.
5. 复制或模仿：This phone is a knock-off of Apple’s iPhone.
