Give up的意思是认输、停止努力。

比如某宅男看到女神躺在高富帅的怀里，就留下一句“祝你幸福”转身走开，这就叫give her up。

Abandon的意思是彻底放弃，不再关心，特指停止对某人的照顾、支持。比如：

His mother had abandoned him at an early age.

还可以指离开、废弃某地或某物，比如：

He decided2 not to abandon his Chicago residence.

DESERT形容逃兵等可耻的放弃行为时，会用到一个比abandon更具有贬义的单词：desert。它指不忠诚、不负责任地抛弃。例如：

最后，desert在做名词时是沙漠的意思，它在做动词时可以表示离开某地让它荒凉。比如：

The tourists have deserted the beaches.
