' ~6 y' x6 Q1 C/ {. d7 sL: Michael，这电影可真棒！

& a+ w/ J/ T' C/ k3 ~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.

M: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
" Q) h+ ?5 M( K2 N
& h- _- x# Y- g, U9 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。

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.
8 v- |: f) `6 U3 H* N" \( r
( Q; i# o9 g; U" `2 [% h0 i9 cL: 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？
5 D6 K3 U# f  S& O
