Xbfeng

Michael和李华都为今天的考试苦苦准备了整整一个星期。他们俩刚考完，都觉得自己考得不错。俩人决定去看一场电影，轻松轻松。李华会学到两个常用语，一个是：buck; 另一个是：whatever。

. g; G9 D3 D5 _: F* k, FM: Li Hua, are you going to get any snacks before the movie begins?

L: 你说什么？噢，电影还没有开场，你问我要不要买点吃的？嗯， 我本想买一杯可乐，可是买了票，没钱了，算了吧！

* B8 e0 q3 ?5 O  H8 FL: 你说什么？一杯可乐不是!.75吗？你说 "only a few bucks"?
" P+ {1 ~5 z2 b. H
M: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".

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？

- g  L8 y9 b1 ?  UM: 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...

/ e$ ?% A7 U% t. U8 G. ^7 }/ `L: 得啦， 你用不着提醒我，我知道，那天借了你几块钱吃午饭， 上星期借你十块钱买化学书，不就是借了两回吗！你怎么啦，怕 我不还？

M: No, I'm not reminding you, I just wanted to give you some examples.
" u- T1 j5 u7 o1 v5 J" u$ j, U
L: 得了吧！要给我举例子，跟钱有关的事多着呢，为什么非要举我 问你借钱的例子！

M: Ok, don't be mad at me. Hey, since you now know what "buck" means, why don't you give me an example.

(Michael和李华看完电影以后)

$ Y% I5 D% U7 _+ i- ?
M: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
: B2 R* W  A' Q8 G
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。
9 k% Q+ D" f: M* z; J
) M, O& C2 M4 f* J- m% AM: 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.
" e3 n8 ]5 [7 F1 U
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？

2 C2 J5 m9 c9 j/ K1 a' S; vM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.
! K; |# g8 u$ G/ O3 f
+ u2 `) P. \+ C/ o4 l; fL: 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。

! ?9 r( m- B1 a2 Q& f: o0 DM: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

L: 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！
& O+ J) b# ]9 @: ]3 w
) q* O7 _, `1 d. x1 ^/ x7 ^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。
