L: 你说什么？噢，电影还没有开场，你问我要不要买点吃的？嗯， 我本想买一杯可乐，可是买了票，没钱了，算了吧！

1 W6 X9 Y5 H8 r& PM: Don't worry about it! I'll buy you one. It's only a few bucks.

* a! E- ^' @$ n  ~0 D# B( I  @7 }L: 你说什么？一杯可乐不是!.75吗？你说 "only a few bucks"?

M: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".

M: That's right. And the other day, I lent you a few bucks for lunch. And last week, you borrowed ten bucks so you could buy a chemistry textbook, and...

" n$ {5 T) {0 f: LL: 得啦， 你用不着提醒我，我知道，那天借了你几块钱吃午饭， 上星期借你十块钱买化学书，不就是借了两回吗！你怎么啦，怕 我不还？

M: No, I'm not reminding you, I just wanted to give you some examples.

M: What? Are you kidding? That was the stupidest movie I've ever seen. I would have rather spent the seven bucks on a good meal.

9 F5 f, ^4 ]% J& m6 j0 d' e, OL: 你从来没看过这么傻的电影？你宁可花这七块钱去好好吃顿饭！ Michael, 你真怪！我非常喜欢Piers Brosnan，他长得多帅呀！

M: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
+ e" p6 n. C+ v2 {  ]" N/ j
L: 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。
' f5 P- i/ o6 z# w5 r9 N6 U( G
, g; q) `/ X, G, r8 JM: 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.

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 x: b; @8 O4 T; ?( ?
M: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

L: 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。

: s. O1 K) h" e+ }8 GM: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!
