3 a, K/ k( |8 iM: 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.

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！

6 o- W; A. T2 O: i; c( R  nM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
4 s# Z/ u8 A3 ]1 H
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。
" K* u2 f% c$ Z' O/ _/ }% b
, u2 c5 Y/ |# l  ]& `/ V0 eM: 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.

  @7 u+ \* f/ r3 L6 s0 ~6 UL: 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？

4 e* D/ E9 |7 M0 z, MM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

1 \6 Y) N( O9 m; e0 OM: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

L: 唉，非要说看这部电影是浪费七块美元。 得了，Michael, 你还是 省点钱吧，没准我下回还要问你借呢！
