網(wǎng)羅天下新鮮、好玩、有趣、時(shí)尚的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)，盡在可可英語(yǔ)獨(dú)家專(zhuān)欄節(jié)目"E聊吧"。

本期節(jié)目的topic:被甩了

英語(yǔ)變化迅速，新詞不斷涌現(xiàn)。今天給大家介紹一個(gè)一個(gè)單詞就是dumped.不過(guò)你有沒(méi)有married，have you ever been dumped？大家能猜到這是什么意思嗎?

Dump 書(shū)面的意思是扔掉，不過(guò)很多人都會(huì)用這個(gè)詞來(lái)形容他們的一段戀情結(jié)束了——你可能會(huì)主動(dòng)結(jié)束這段戀情，把對(duì)方甩了，或者反過(guò)來(lái)你被對(duì)方拋棄了。

In British English when you have a boyfriend or girl friend and they tell you they don't want to be with you anymore. They dump you——or you say——I've been dumped!

Dump的這個(gè)用法適用于非正式的場(chǎng)合，而且，這個(gè)用法非常流行哦。It's probably the most common way of saying someone didn't want tobe with you anymore.

下次，如果有人拋棄了你，那就是they dump you 或者你被拋棄了，就用you are dumped.

在雜志和電視節(jié)目中我們會(huì)經(jīng)常碰到dump的這個(gè)用法。當(dāng)然啦，在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中希望大家永遠(yuǎn)不需要使用它。我們僅僅只要了解dump的這個(gè)含義就足夠了。To dump——to dump someone——or to be dumped.
