牛津高阶英汉双解词典（第 8/9 版）

foot·loose /ˈfʊtluːs ; NAmE ˈfʊtluːs /
adjective free to go where you like or do what you want because you have no responsibilities 行动无拘无束的；自由自在的
» Bert was a footloose, unemployed actor. 伯特是不受雇于任何人的自由演员。
» Ah, I was still footloose and fancy-free (= free to enjoy myself) in those days. 啊，那些日子我还是自由自在、无忧无虑的。

这里把 unemployed actor 译为“自由演员”，我觉得不能算错，因为有 footloose 在前。
