: Definitely an option, if it needs to be spelled out, but I think Teresa's got a good point and we'd probably put this differently in English.

: This is obviously technically correct, but "volition" is fairly high register in English as to become stylistically distracting.

: I disagree with David: I think this is great. If you go with something closer to the original, it sounds clunky or euphemistic. This sounds natural and the meaning is clear ("he wasn't fired").
