: ^8 q1 ^4 j9 e4 J+ xL: 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。/ [- l- J* r7 W! A# U# ^+ ^: I

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？ ) K( P- B- C" f1 f0 ^$ d5 D 9 \8 E: A- Z, ?: C3 y* aM: Whatever!
