0 G5 r0 t/ K8 u+ z7 b8 rL: 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。8 Z1 K5 i, P3 }1 p7 o r

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.2 ~9 y! y$ U3 j; u) T
