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？

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

L: 要我给你举个例子，行，那还不容易呀！ 你看我这件毛衣，款 式很新型，纯毛的，还是名牌，你猜多钱？Five bucks！

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.

" I, p1 @4 |1 t! S' O" L, ^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.

; h0 Q& ^# l) ?2 Y# @: A  yL: 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？

M: 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。

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。
