L: 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？

' ?& @( p. a% @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！

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。
1 k( Q6 F4 Q, q1 r; l  ^/ S
/ B9 m- d  Q& E2 _' I7 D' WM: 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.

, j; l( V( u2 a) a$ mL: 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？

M: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

L: 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。
