2 t# Y* w) l- DM: 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 G1 F: F; K, d9 b' U0 n3 l" P) O! L. n2 V/ u! S% ^6 ~' V
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？ 2 h1 F# i$ c% x$ i5 Z2 o, g: V!
