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，或者反过来你被对方抛弃了。

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!

Dump的这个用法适用于非正式的场合，而且，这个用法非常流行哦。It's probably the most common way of saying someone didn't want to be with you anymore.

下次，如果有人抛弃了你，那就是 they dump you 或者你被抛弃了，就用 you are dumped。

在杂志和电视节目中我们会经常碰到dump的这个用法。当然啦，在现实生活中希望大家永远不需要使用它。我们仅仅只要了解dump的这个含义就足够了。To dump--to dump someone--or to be dumped.
