" O! X$ e+ T0 b, w. a1 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。" Q! U2 _9 N' \3 t* E
; F* i- F, J# r) H+ P6 b) T/ o
M: 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.' n/ u9 A4 S- L6 I$ X
9 X) C! M a% T9 m" P! LL: 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？ 7 O0 w2 h/ Y2 s " `0 z; r8 m I8 c3 C1 ZM: Whatever!

# [, O% w$ @* O8 l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。; L; d# a5 b! C' \+ O1 u
