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. ' Y# a! H2 ]; u) ^) B+ a8 ?( D; }+ ?' L, f! j; O0 p3 p4 R. M$ W# p0 X8 a
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？: l6 o& b9 O+ \, C3 n* E7 z8 Q8 m L( H
