- h+ }9 y9 M1 @) U& 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？

1 i1 f  n, T; S6 N; {4 W2 u/ WM: 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...

& T! j4 C  D+ DL: 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。
  g6 f% |* L  G
; H/ D8 Z$ s' y# d% g& cM: 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.

2 A/ c' e( X& d( P) j9 a# |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？

$ P1 A, u) z4 P3 _! @+ H6 Q) N6 B5 `# DM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.
