5 C8 s8 O! a) G2 fL: Michael, 你说 "whatever"，在这里是什么意思呀？比如说：You can buy whatever you want." 意思是：你想买什么都行。可是，你 刚才说一个字" whatever"，口气不同，好象意思也不一样。 w" ]2 e7 B5 o7 V- |( h5 |, i$ {6 k " q' v r1 e2 t( ?M: The word "whatever" I said is the same as in your example， But when someone says "whatever" like this: "whatever," he is being sarcastic.

. R. L, e& L% x, V- P4 CL: 噢，原来是这么回事。你说的whatever和我举的例子里的 whatever 是一个字, 可是，说的语调不一样就表示说话的人在讽 刺对方，认为对方说的是废话。好，又学会一个词。不过， Michael，你不喜欢这部电影是不是你认为Piers Brosnan不够帅？ 你 是妒忌他吧？ % b# d) u( b2 c5 ^7 g+ r0 Y _% y" l' `% O2 S; S8 P
