% E5 B. @6 k3 c. TL: 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。$ M, @2 W% I5 u$ O5 ^4 T+ F5 o
6 L+ q' A3 C" l4 s+ {/ qM: 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. 6 K S6 Y, e7 v4 Q0 d7 J H, R1 H5 w9 W% P+ Q& m4 I
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？ 1 a2 z: f4 o7 A! T) |# g * j6 Y!
