, M1 m4 f3 s6 jL: 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。* C s( E, i2 _* `8 h" Y; ?, {$ ^
8 `& @, M6 ]) P" V0 `3 }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. 9 \( Z+ O" e! u5 ]5 C1 R6 b6 q2 R# ]
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？ ( T% G& c! p' L0 Q1 W0 Z% J& a0 X. L! Z4 O& _, i4 |

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。& f* ~/ Y9 j! W6 K+ e! x2 _
