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。 ' G! Q% e2 g2 ~: _ 9 G0 H! a: ^0 `' l$ n* u# jM: Li Hua, are you going to get any snacks before the movie begins?) I3 b, _5 f7 M8 p, B$ a! Q3 b+ K

2 E( ?4 i* X9 _+ L* G xL: 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。& R" T2 i/ s% t. l9 g: ]

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？ * U/ A" c0 n A' C0 }. T 4 Q0 |+ X# o- w4 WM: Whatever!

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。9 E! V4 K6 C# R. S0 e8 M
