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。6 m+ Y5 z1 r, J/ N( U2 W V
! h' f" Q7 a4 ]9 n( y- o* x" s- T' c
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. ; v, v: }( D% I" c9 `; A( y: q7 D. |+ k, t1 S/ Q7 N
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？ 1 n6 Y* q* P; |, T) K( l) r) g 7 O0 |! l. f# [( j: I/ UM: Whatever!
