7 y3 {+ n. F" `2 EM: Ok, don't be mad at me. Hey, since you now know what "buck" means, why don't you give me an example.

" I6 P3 N2 f. w: [, M' q(Michael和李华看完电影以后)

1 U, t+ y$ ~: Q6 L4 K1 uL: Michael，这电影可真棒！

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.

, n6 r$ u  S% w/ TL: 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！

$ f/ V+ c0 p! F" ]& TM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!

, c4 s/ ]# f- b. |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。

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: 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？
' U7 b- y, A* q, h
$ ?; y1 A1 J) I4 m% NM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

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。
. n( i7 m8 ^: h! E
! D! C. z( ]) X! h& ~M: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

8 r5 v* K( y6 d2 I+ ?+ TL: 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！

M: Whatever!

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。
