( ~, J  q/ ~! G3 ?5 x4 x/ \1 cL: 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。

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. He thinks what you just said is nonsense.
. e  ~; R' y6 O: h
L: 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？

5 `+ ]  M# N# B0 Q! uM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

+ T* h3 j3 x# c/ B: i* CL: 得了吧！对，Piers Brosnan年级不小了，也比以前胖了。可是我 认为他还是很帅。你自己不也比以前胖了嘛。

9 c7 O: K! u! p( Y9 q' k" }* d  _M: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

: n' C" Y! K4 e' r$ q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。
