# T5 ^9 R6 Z' }8 pM: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".

L: 哟，"buck" 就是"dollar"！是非正式的名称。 嗨，昨天我要买一块 糖，你给我一美元，那我就可以说："You gave me a buck"，对不 对？

! S" h( `) N3 l, l- ?% NM: 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...

L: 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.

, G2 z: e+ j  d: pL: Michael，这电影可真棒！

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.

L: 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！
* n# a: I% M2 b
" i& c5 H  s1 B! ~4 {0 WM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
1 P$ K5 {6 k6 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。

* F3 E3 Y* }* XM: 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.
: v; @6 b, C$ N- W0 F
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？
% e3 p: e" x( |4 i. h. e( k, S& E

3 l) ]" N# y0 Y  XL: 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。
