Michael和李华都为今天的考试苦苦准备了整整一个星期。他们俩刚考完，都觉得自己考得不错。俩人决定去看一场电影，轻松轻松。李华会学到两个常用语，一个是：buck; 另一个是：whatever。 6 Z4 I+ ~9 W5 t! o$ W % {% i5 c( d9 D5 z! b! J1 e9 UM: Li Hua, are you going to get any snacks before the movie begins? 5 _# f) e [1 j) P; {2 r2 B% s; I1 v- O- Z6 h) g

李华今天学到了两个常用语，一个是：buck，这是指美元；另一个常用语就是：whatever，这是表示说话的人对对方说的话很不以为然，就象中文里说的"得了吧"。这次[流行美语]就学习到这里，我们下次节目再见。9 E* J+ J, U7 y3 i7 ~" o, p
