6 f7 u2 p# L: e4 \6 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。 / c' U( b( g1 y+ q) t; f) a$ z9 J/ W- r9 {9 L
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. ( S( C) g1 F4 Q; |5 v0 Z7 ?5 V- B7 [2 V6 [" m- ]: l. {& ~/ X& O
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？9 A# V7 Y# a$ S0 j0 h/ K1 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。 6 H2 K4 {1 h9 s- e8 c' U/ b: H% ~Audio as following: . W+ g# f) b: D+ h* B1 Q1 J K9 A) M
