　　擴展：放棄的幾種表達

Give up指放棄努力、投降;abandon強調不再關心或支持;desert的指責意味更強;forsake用於對親密關係的放棄。

Give up的意思是認輸、停止努力。

比如某宅男看到女神躺在高富帥的懷裏，就留下一句“祝你幸福”轉身走開，這就叫give her up。

Abandon的意思是徹底放棄，不再關心，特指停止對某人的照顧、支持。比如：

His mother had abandoned him at an early age.

他在幼年就被母親遺棄。

還可以指離開、廢棄某地或某物，比如：

He decided2 not to abandon his Chicago residence.

他決定不搬離在芝加哥的住宅。

DESERT形容逃兵等可恥的放棄行爲時，會用到一個比abandon更具有貶義的單詞：desert。它指不忠誠、不負責任地拋棄。例如：

He deserted3 his wife and daughter.

他拋棄妻女。

此外，desert還有“在對方需要的時候辜負某人”的意思。這種用法中，desert的主語是某種能力，不用人做主語。比如：

His luck deserted him.

運氣沒有眷顧他。

最後，desert在做名詞時是沙漠的意思，它在做動詞時可以表示離開某地讓它荒涼。比如：

The tourists have deserted the beaches.

遊客們離開了沙灘。

Forsake1是指對親密關係中斷、棄絕。例如：

He forsook4 his wife for a career.

他爲了職業生涯拋棄了妻子。

也可以指放棄某種價值觀或興趣，如：

I will not forsake my ideals.

我不會放棄我的理想。
