小知识
To dissipate is to disperse or fade away — as a bad smell will dissipate (usually) if you wait long enough.
Dissipate can also mean “spend or use wastefully.” If you win the lottery, you might suddenly find yourself with a group of new friends encouraging you to dissipate your money (on them). Note that dissipate can be used with or without an object: “Once you dissipate your wealth, your new group of friends will dissipate without a trace.”

词语辨析
dissipate，consume，fritter，squander，waste。
这组词都有“浪费”的意思。它们的区别是：waste指任意地挥霍，通常是花费而不见成果；squander的意思比waste强，强调胡乱花费，含有花光而导致贫困的意思；dissipate指因奢侈而丧失东西，犹如随风撒东西一样，强调将存有的东西用光或几乎用光；fritter常和away连用，指一点一点地花费，或花费在不重要的东西上，含有逐渐用光的意思；consume强调吞食或毁坏，但也可指完全浪费或挥霍掉，用于金钱或财产时，指频繁地减少，偶尔用于时间或精力时，指无益地花费。例如：The council has been squandering the ratepayers'money.市议会一直在挥霍房地产纳税人的金钱。He dissipated his large fortune in a few years of heavy spending.他在几年的大肆挥霍中把自己一大笔财产都花光了。She fritters away all her money on clothes and trips to the cinema.她把所有金钱都浪费在穿衣服和看电影上了。The fire soon consumed the wooden buildings.大火很快就把那些木制建筑物吞没了。
