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。

' u/ ]9 c! u3 X' aM: Li Hua, are you going to get any snacks before the movie begins?

L: 你说什么？噢，电影还没有开场，你问我要不要买点吃的？嗯， 我本想买一杯可乐，可是买了票，没钱了，算了吧！
' L. g, B, o( J& B  C3 z( d$ S
M: Don't worry about it! I'll buy you one. It's only a few bucks.

; G% N" ?+ i4 }+ OL: 你说什么？一杯可乐不是!.75吗？你说 "only a few bucks"?
$ X" H* ?0 q. P- @: V
5 X2 i* P7 B! NM: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".

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？
% [* O, U: e$ K/ b( V3 O  d$ }
M: That's right. And the other day, I lent you a few bucks for lunch. And last week, you borrowed ten bucks so you could buy a chemistry textbook, and...

L: 得啦， 你用不着提醒我，我知道，那天借了你几块钱吃午饭， 上星期借你十块钱买化学书，不就是借了两回吗！你怎么啦，怕 我不还？

8 r0 ~  c- p) ZM: No, I'm not reminding you, I just wanted to give you some examples.

L: 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！
' t! f6 T3 {8 J- C; E
M: Ok, don't be mad at me. Hey, since you now know what "buck" means, why don't you give me an example.

6 k& c% d4 S" ]3 lM: Five bucks! I can't believe it!

L: 清仓大减价嘛！ 可是，Michael，我去商店的时候，停车停错了地 方，吃了一张罚票， it costs me 50 bucks!

M: Oh! So your sweater actually costs you 55 bucks! That's expensive!

L: 真倒霉！得了，别说了。去买可乐吧！电影都快开场了。

1 P8 x. C1 `- a. q(Michael和李华看完电影以后)

$ a$ M6 j! @9 m. IL: Michael，这电影可真棒！

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.

; K7 o% f! W& F4 L, j4 u4 o  o+ FL: 你从来没看过这么傻的电影？你宁可花这七块钱去好好吃顿饭！ Michael, 你真怪！我非常喜欢Piers Brosnan，他长得多帅呀！
+ G* W( K1 n1 _6 x
( n) _; H$ @6 D. [- N9 y1 ]$ X/ ~M: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!

. H6 z+ |5 S" l6 P  E! q$ Q+ ^L: 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。
. y- E3 F7 F4 ^+ ]
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.
: Y( a: {! R( C
$ U1 k: j! y. y% DL: 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？

" m* C3 L+ J0 R. r+ `7 {2 h7 lM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

M: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

L: 唉，非要说看这部电影是浪费七块美元。 得了，Michael, 你还是 省点钱吧，没准我下回还要问你借呢！
