0 _+ e0 H7 \# N, P3 z5 i) C3 GL: 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。 * O: C' z( }/ z3 O `) U* K) U" D$ [/ d) L- x: s" P$ ^$ X

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？ & G O; h1 j7 _2 {5 @9 E6 I 7 Z$ q/ `; N; I2 a, jM: Whatever!

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。4 @1 ]% G# F) O( p& o; B. v
