M: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".

0 ^3 C2 M; n- t; i0 tL: 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？

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

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.
2 f' }+ x$ l+ o2 S
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 K* n  P/ t( ~+ J: QM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!

, h, w+ s* ]8 I3 k7 b+ x0 D. EL: 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。

* X  L0 H* u% |: o) q- X; @) ?6 ]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: _' {! k7 r  L7 y) g5 l+ ]9 ?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？
& j" j: H. ^/ ~. ]
M: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

5 Q5 Z3 r  h3 d9 M3 bL: 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。

M: 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！

M: Whatever!

7 |* @6 Z, o! w  E' S" ~" G3 J# Z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。
