    Jo: You're listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Jo and with me today is Li.
    Li: Hello 大家好,歡迎收聽 BBC 的地道英語節(jié)目,希望在接下來的2分鐘里,你能學(xué)到英式英語中流行的表達(dá)方式。今天我們要學(xué)的新詞兒是什么呢 Jo?
    Jo: Well Li – I know you're married now – but have you ever been dumped?
    Li: Dumped? 大家能猜到這是什么意思嗎?
    Jo: Well it's what we say in British English when you have a boyfriend or girlfriend and they tell you they don't want to be with you anymore. They dump you – or you say – I've been dumped!
    Li: 這很容易理解,dump 書面的意思是扔掉,不過很多人都會(huì)用這個(gè)詞來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,或者反過來被對(duì)方拋棄了。
    Jo: I've been dumped. Or he dumped me! So Li, you didn't answer my question…
    Li: OK Jo, yes I have been dumped! And it wasn't very nice – 我的前任男友就是那種沒良心的人。
    Jo: Aw Li I'm sorry – I didn't mean to upset you. It's an informal word and it's probably the most common way of saying someone didn't want to be with you anymore.
    Li: Yes, 如果有人拋棄了你,那就是 they dump you 或者是你被拋棄了 you are dumped.
