A school-leaver is someone who has just finished school and is now out in the world. The word is used a lot in British English. Though actually, it usually does not mean the person who then goes straight to university. It points more to the student who leaves school and looks for a job, or starts work, instead of more study. In American English people are more likely to say high-school graduate, which does not carry that 'going to work, not college' feeling. It is a newspaper and government kind of word: jobs for school-leavers, training for school-leavers.
剛離校的人(英式;多指中學畢業後去工作、沒有升學的,不是「今天下午放學的人」)
組成school + leaver (someone who leaves).
