4 o3 M* ~  c, A$ }7 G# gL: 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？

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...

# |& H2 J* z, R- D, B/ d& 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？

' m6 E, K$ `9 t: _  XL: 要我给你举个例子，行，那还不容易呀！ 你看我这件毛衣，款 式很新型，纯毛的，还是名牌，你猜多钱？Five bucks！

L: 清仓大减价嘛！ 可是，Michael，我去商店的时候，停车停错了地 方，吃了一张罚票， it costs me 50 bucks!

M: Oh! So your sweater actually costs you 55 bucks! That's expensive!
  a  w8 S0 @. s
L: 真倒霉！得了，别说了。去买可乐吧！电影都快开场了。

(Michael和李华看完电影以后)

1 @: E, Y  t  c" v, sL: Michael，这电影可真棒！

% y* H( I7 L. ]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.
' h) j& }9 S1 R' u4 q! Q
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！

M: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!

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。

: O1 o5 }' i* H1 H; bM: 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.

3 q% |7 ~0 _* z; I! z% j! @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？
. e* s) \- x+ O" ]- f) Y" p- L: }
M: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.
5 ?3 p; t( @* o, B/ I+ D7 B
; U' @7 ~: J# V0 k& W: yL: 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。
5 K# Y* N3 o0 ]

: T5 x5 q7 {& z  J+ M. z1 c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。
