L: 你说什么？一杯可乐不是!.75吗？你说 "only a few bucks"?

M: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".

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？

M: 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.

! Z2 m; [6 P$ s! T/ X4 M& AL: 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！

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

(Michael和李华看完电影以后)

L: Michael，这电影可真棒！

: x. U8 M' |! _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.

6 e9 j1 X8 a# \- E* aL: 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！

. T3 i# Y9 d+ y+ @- T$ hM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!

# Z5 ~2 ~7 q3 y+ c( b; gL: 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。
& S5 l1 p: Y8 S8 P
, t6 V, C; B* jM: 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.
! Z* U" q$ Q" U+ Q! Y" Y
8 Y8 [, O" @5 N5 r7 y+ H2 B, VL: 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？

9 D! o) O$ P0 [% cM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

. X! m5 \  `' s4 yL: 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。
7 s3 b0 W* M* S; w1 }
M: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

! G# I8 E, t6 YL: 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！

M: Whatever!

6 f4 ]. F6 O/ `( S6 U+ p$ Y, T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。
