(Michael和李华看完电影以后)

L: 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.
" u& r4 K1 a+ s. j" z5 x+ ~
L: 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！
8 L/ n. a: s/ O+ R4 _+ E) e0 _( \
" _- \2 t8 \) G) |6 kM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
' R5 t+ r0 x' h7 r
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。
" }5 Y6 i) v/ N8 |" r7 B2 q. P- G
/ h" c4 J* E2 BM: 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.
8 X* @' m: m* K
9 C0 w- o0 |. I: T: 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？

, O2 B7 k3 o  e% PM: 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。

2 t( K. D: s+ ?) dM: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

. c5 w) B1 W. N9 S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。
