Michael和李华都为今天的考试苦苦准备了整整一个星期。他们俩刚考完，都觉得自己考得不错。俩人决定去看一场电影，轻松轻松。李华会学到两个常用语，一个是：buck; 另一个是：whatever。 ( z8 t. O- G- Y( z% s# j, \2 i! B 7 ]" t- C- x; o7 W8 M8 TM: Li Hua, are you going to get any snacks before the movie begins? 0 b' r" n4 A, k: C) s$ y+ m* V" u$ M6 h$ S( B

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。0 H/ c' P t( O2 y9 a9 Q) ?" e
$ F9 I1 T' m7 o, hM: 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. & ^( [' C* {* P" R5 p d: n; |: o1 C* 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？ 3 D6 ]/ z! [' M5 |) y$ Z 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。, Q5 A2 o5 L3 J7 |
