If your Great Aunt Maude tells you you’ve become a dissipated bum, she means you don’t think of anything but how much fun you’re having. If you got a summer job and stopped playing arcade games all day, she might change her tune.

长释义：
The adjective dissipated is used to describe people who’ve lost their moral center, and instead of following the rules of conventional morals, prefer to be utterly self-indulgent. The word comes from the verb dissipate, which means “to disperse,” but as an adjective it’s always used for people who’ve gone wrong in some way. If you really want to lay into someone, use these synonyms and call him a “dissipated, dissolute, debauched, degenerate jerk.”
形容词 dissipated 用来形容失去道德中心的人，不遵守传统道德准则，更喜欢完全自我放纵。这个词来自动词 dissipate，意思是“分散”，但作为形容词，它总是用于在某些方面出错的人。如果你真想挖苦一个人，就用这些同义词，称他为“放荡、放荡、堕落、堕落的混蛋”。
