Li: Hello 大家好，欢迎收听 BBC 的地道英语节目，希望在接下来的2分钟里，你能学到英式英语中流行的表达方式。今天我们要学的新词儿是什么呢 Jo? (来源：英语博客 http://space.englishcn.com)

Jo: Well Li – I know you're married now – but have you ever been dumped?

(来源：英语聊天室 http://chat.EnglishCN.com)

Li: Dumped? 大家能猜到这是什么意思吗?

(来源：最老牌的英语学习网站 EnglishCN.com)

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: 这很容易理解，dump 书面的意思是扔掉，不过很多人都会用这个词来形容他们的一段恋情结束了 – 你可能会主动结束这段恋情，把对方甩了，或者反过来被对方抛弃了。

Jo: I've been dumped. Or he dumped me! So Li, you didn't answer my question… (来源：英语交友 http://friends.englishcn.com)

Li: OK Jo, yes I have been dumped! And it wasn't very nice – 我的前任男友就是那种没良心的人。

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.
