' h6 {- c$ F2 q
' J4 c- d, }! K. U* BM: 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？

: _) z) [: L' j- F, N. MM: 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...

& G; f* ~3 k  g7 D* Y& }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？

2 C) Z  U; N" A9 D+ }4 [# BM: No, I'm not reminding you, I just wanted to give you some examples.

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

L: 要我给你举个例子，行，那还不容易呀！ 你看我这件毛衣，款 式很新型，纯毛的，还是名牌，你猜多钱？Five bucks！

5 @. }) x4 [5 ~* C: ~8 FM: 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.
' A, ]7 G8 P* ~: n: l: ?
: \- `* d4 q% V2 ^! q+ ^7 f2 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！
  O1 X) `* E0 ]; E0 g; F$ H0 ?4 L

$ _4 f% d, i1 P; \2 WL: 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。

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.

& ?& q0 z3 n% z* h/ Z8 t2 _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？
5 m- F% I8 N# e
' o4 k) [; v: ~4 M9 DM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

. I9 S( E1 `( }+ g1 ML: 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。
