M: Ok, don't be mad at me. Hey, since you now know what "buck" means, why don't you give me an example.

L: 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！

% b+ f9 M' u3 T: V, _- ^" K! GM: 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。

* S7 ~& i0 s- \9 g/ a# E6 g0 o) }0 OM: 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.

- P- z9 l0 w2 l) J/ o$ b0 d! 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？
