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 o3 G* E9 [* S + _- v3 \6 P# @2 z- UM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now! ' `5 i* i7 R7 y5 V p7 u( I# s- D& ]# ]6 l ^9 a& v) d3 o% c
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。 4 y C! m5 f6 _1 F) m* h, m2 [% c% n5 z. w
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.4 {; N8 `, P3 b- J9 N$ g% \

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？ 9 |6 h% D/ V6 n# o k' U$ ]' c. N- R0 j2 H7 x

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。% q+ q+ K9 d9 L7 M P u/ X* y
