　　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 的地道英語節目，希望在接下來的2分鍾裡，你能學到英式英語中流行的表達方式。今天我們要學的新詞兒是什麽呢 Jo?

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

　　Li:Dumped? 大家能猜到這是什麽意思嗎?

　　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 書麪的意思是扔掉，不過很多人都會用這個詞來形容他們的一段戀情結束了 – 你可能會主動結束這段戀情，把對方甩了，或者反過來被對方拋棄了。

　　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.

　　B: Yes I have and she's really upset. David dumped her last week.
　　A: Kate was dumped – no! I thought he really liked her.
　　A: How are things going with Jake?
