5 O9 a6 s  z# a# ML: 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！
* _* s! V/ N! t( r& {0 m
" t' I! I; v8 c& t% ~1 C/ ]  fM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!

2 q, b3 P! c1 e; HL: 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。
2 P( j3 a, C6 n; t
3 N0 b! E, \$ X6 n9 NM: 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.

' }5 D* o' W& |- ?/ C- DL: 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？
; }+ f7 \+ b# @; o) X0 G
M: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.
3 i; l+ u- `: @
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。

L: 唉，非要说看这部电影是浪费七块美元。 得了，Michael, 你还是 省点钱吧，没准我下回还要问你借呢！

M: Whatever!

5 i  }( e6 ?: @' M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。
