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？

0 @# T- ^, N* \/ ^M: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
6 G; r. ^0 A& _: f8 `1 V
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。
2 k" U* ]: d% o2 L2 E7 o& Q
; \* M; U& F% Y; k( GM: 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) B2 s. U6 JL: 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？
" D- L! U. f3 Z# W

$ S9 c9 g, M  d" g9 S0 d4 `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。
