) ~4 g, b. u- ^2 y0 h- g" VL: 你说什么？噢，电影还没有开场，你问我要不要买点吃的？嗯， 我本想买一杯可乐，可是买了票，没钱了，算了吧！

M: Don't worry about it! I'll buy you one. It's only a few bucks.

L: 你说什么？一杯可乐不是!.75吗？你说 "only a few bucks"?

6 t/ t1 f: u) @M: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".

L: 哟，"buck" 就是"dollar"！是非正式的名称。 嗨，昨天我要买一块 糖，你给我一美元，那我就可以说："You gave me a buck"，对不 对？

L: 得了吧！要给我举例子，跟钱有关的事多着呢，为什么非要举我 问你借钱的例子！

M: Ok, don't be mad at me. Hey, since you now know what "buck" means, why don't you give me an example.

L: 要我给你举个例子，行，那还不容易呀！ 你看我这件毛衣，款 式很新型，纯毛的，还是名牌，你猜多钱？Five bucks！

M: Five bucks! I can't believe it!

1 ~2 X/ l" y! }- j/ G2 I, T9 H3 yL: 清仓大减价嘛！ 可是，Michael，我去商店的时候，停车停错了地 方，吃了一张罚票， it costs me 50 bucks!

' U0 d0 x. }  @; H7 hL: 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.

* \( \: ^4 U  S1 pL: 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！

M: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!

2 z! O) L8 ^- U$ d; p, H( X: yL: 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。

" A+ v; m' U2 d; v0 X" ]+ e+ h* O( _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.

( t; c: n( B! ?( z! 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？
