M: No, I'm not reminding you, I just wanted to give you some examples.

L: Michael，这电影可真棒！

; Z" K9 Z0 l3 U! J. `! c1 bM: 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.
2 s4 I0 w1 z7 ?& o  V& c
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！

4 }: d8 D4 h4 `+ L  dM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
7 ?# X3 X) _# K5 }* o% S( ^7 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。

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.
3 G) n& n/ [% h, R5 m% Q% j
4 x( r& L" s8 ?" O9 Z/ p! DL: 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。

% P+ i+ V9 j% l% @M: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!
" o- F% g( ]# \2 _  }( V# c

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。
