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。

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.

$ a- Q& o+ g2 hL: 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！

- @6 E6 d1 ?0 [' dM: 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.

L: 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！

7 \7 I$ `2 h9 ZM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
: f; l8 X- K) V* J
0 P4 K; u% w8 ]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。

9 a7 N8 A6 Q6 K) N% J5 |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.

) V& {. q$ t9 I$ G4 _; z" \% u" f& U+ Y0 ]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？

' t- _* e' @5 B% ZM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.
) O2 n' M! U( R9 ?+ e- S
L: 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。

$ D) v6 R, x$ Y- ?8 mM: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!
" l9 R2 s$ i5 U) K1 }
' `8 t: }8 d- xL: 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！

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。
