call off 共有幾種含義？

My attention was now

called off

by Miss Smith desiring me to hold a skein of thread： while she was winding it， she talked to me from time to time， asking whether I had ever been at school before， whether I could mark， stitch， knit， etc。； till she dismissed me， I could not pursue my observations on Miss Scatcherd‘s movements。 When I returned to my seat， that lady was just delivering an order of which I did not catch the import； but Burns immediately left the class， and going into the small inner room where the books were kept， returned in half a minute， carrying in her hand a bundle of twigs tied together at one end。 This ominous tool she presented to Miss Scatcherd with a respectful curtsey。

此刻，史密斯小姐轉移了我的注意力，她讓我替她撐住一束線，一面繞，一面不時跟我說話。問我以前是否進過學校，能否繡花、縫紉、編織等，直到她打發我走，我才有可能進一步觀察斯卡查德小姐的行動。我回到自己的座位上時，那女人正在釋出一道命令，命令的內容我沒有聽清楚。但是彭斯立刻離開了班級，走進裡面一個放書的小間，過了半分鐘又返回來，手裡拿著一束一頭紮好的木條。她畢恭畢敬地行了個屈膝禮，把這個不祥的刑具遞交給了斯卡查德小姐。

2、call off 還有一個用處較多的含義，那就是“取消，放棄，停止”。例如

既是天氣不好，那就不去了吧。

由於天氣越來越壞，救援人員只得停止搜尋。

3、call off 的第三個含義是“依次叫名”。例如

叫

大家。一號？
