Michael和李华都为今天的考试苦苦准备了整整一个星期。他们俩刚考完，都觉得自己考得不错。俩人决定去看一场电影，轻松轻松。李华会学到两个常用语，一个是：buck; 另一个是：whatever。

6 I; f  ?& J& S; L6 v, K# ]L: 哟，"buck" 就是"dollar"！是非正式的名称。 嗨，昨天我要买一块 糖，你给我一美元，那我就可以说："You gave me a buck"，对不 对？

M: No, I'm not reminding you, I just wanted to give you some examples.

; T/ \/ Z. D; _: EL: 得了吧！要给我举例子，跟钱有关的事多着呢，为什么非要举我 问你借钱的例子！

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

M: What? Are you kidding? That was the stupidest movie I've ever seen. I would have rather spent the seven bucks on a good meal.

* s! }* @. @! 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。
7 C% X9 U1 n2 }: `4 R  x3 ~2 I
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* M6 `2 a& E8 cL: 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 }% n3 U- `. O1 \: ^! n) ]M: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

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。
