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！

M: Don't worry about it! I'll buy you one. It's only a few bucks.

L: 你说什么？一杯可乐不是!.75吗？你说 "only a few bucks"?

3 b6 }. V5 }& z! T2 UM: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".
( |1 y: s5 m* }& m3 n; B
' o/ Z6 e1 s& G/ bL: 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: 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？

6 _2 `5 z/ H1 E4 S# u+ g, `9 M# ~M: No, I'm not reminding you, I just wanted to give you some examples.

6 Z  f, T- |' IL: 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！

8 Z" s9 l  M  z6 q" K# SM: Ok, don't be mad at me. Hey, since you now know what "buck" means, why don't you give me an example.

L: 要我给你举个例子，行，那还不容易呀！ 你看我这件毛衣，款 式很新型，纯毛的，还是名牌，你猜多钱？Five bucks！

: G; j/ P4 G# ]1 L! H  pM: Five bucks! I can't believe it!

L: 真倒霉！得了，别说了。去买可乐吧！电影都快开场了。

L: Michael，这电影可真棒！

9 K6 Q& |! q( w; Z5 i8 u& u1 lM: 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.
4 ?; h' {4 o5 m: ~
" X. o: p: X, u0 F3 i7 `/ aL: 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！

M: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
/ i* c4 M* |: K% i4 {
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。
; b  F6 l9 P6 m  k+ [& S
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.
& `  x% r9 A& I7 |: O5 t' x) 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？
8 x- w; J0 o+ T  S
3 [' u: W2 J2 J, y1 RM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.
1 c* b6 _  z# B
! b& ~7 o6 z( h% s8 R( o# X! mL: 得了吧！对，Piers Brosnan年级不小了，也比以前胖了。可是我 认为他还是很帅。你自己不也比以前胖了嘛。

M: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!
4 Z( x3 p+ l' H' a' I

M: 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。
