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

/ b. {. K0 f, h/ [M: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".
; _- S, o, U+ w  \( e
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: 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...

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！

# d3 n5 L' j  q  }( v8 t) u5 iM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!

* {, @+ n* x, ?7 nL: 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。

& s% k! \) N( J/ V/ F+ U1 ]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.
; l, H3 R) C# V" @9 v
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？
& j$ H$ }& e# ]* S  _2 ^

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。
