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

2 _* Q, n$ w1 b7 J6 Q. A; o& TL: 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！

L: 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.

9 z7 g+ v0 O# C+ J0 C# k" OL: 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!

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。
$ H) T0 v6 T; b' r$ K5 u
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.
( Z6 }1 C# Y, }, n# Z  E
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？

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。
