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？

) w. {3 B5 o) i' _% h0 iM: That's right. And the other day, I lent you a few bucks for lunch. And last week, you borrowed ten bucks so you could buy a chemistry textbook, and...

L: 得啦， 你用不着提醒我，我知道，那天借了你几块钱吃午饭， 上星期借你十块钱买化学书，不就是借了两回吗！你怎么啦，怕 我不还？

M: No, I'm not reminding you, I just wanted to give you some examples.

L: 得了吧！要给我举例子，跟钱有关的事多着呢，为什么非要举我 问你借钱的例子！

  b9 W6 r! S+ {. k# QM: Ok, don't be mad at me. Hey, since you now know what "buck" means, why don't you give me an example.

6 h4 a' H4 V9 O- vL: 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！

3 R& B" P7 f+ N5 |8 |7 AM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
* V1 ?2 S3 ?9 M$ Z5 S) h+ b* x
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。
- f6 y3 U7 ]1 T/ t. @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.
) t9 ~! w8 j! Z: R( l
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 C1 K4 K3 O; i1 {
) k( `9 p- a- `5 N; AM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.
( w" V6 ], ~" A- p
2 [" s9 P6 j. K" z. L" e# GL: 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。

! a8 X! ?8 e( m1 W2 \# XM: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

4 V7 O/ V+ }( P2 F8 y9 r  h/ KL: 唉，非要说看这部电影是浪费七块美元。 得了，Michael, 你还是 省点钱吧，没准我下回还要问你借呢！

  a+ w; `& u+ d  a- _M: Whatever!

) u$ p* g$ ~# p' W/ D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。
